Permission-Aware RAG: Building AI Systems That Respect Enterprise Access Controls

Traditional RAG systems leak confidential data by ignoring file-level permissions, creating both security risks and noisy, irrelevant results for users. This open-source system implements permission-aware RAG using AWS services, enabling AI agents to deliver role-specific insights while maintaining security boundaries. By aligning AI visibility with actual file permissions, organizations can deploy truly personalized and secure AI assistants without manual configuration.
