AWS Adds Document-Level Access Controls for Google Drive in Amazon Quick

Amazon Web Services has introduced document-level access controls for Google Drive content within Amazon Quick, aimed at improving security and data governance. The feature allows organizations to enforce permissions at the individual document level when AI tools access Google Drive data. This ensures that users and AI-generated responses only surface content they are authorized to view. The combination of ACL replication for efficient pre-retrieval filtering with real-time permission checks in Google Drive offers users performance benefits guarded by incorrectly mapped permission data.

Amazon Quick is AWS’s generative AI assistant designed to connect with enterprise data sources. By adding granular access controls for Google Drive, AWS aims to help organizations integrate external data repositories while maintaining existing security policies. Enterprises are increasingly connecting AI systems to internal and third-party data sources, raising concerns about data exposure and compliance. The feature is available in all AWS regions where Amazon Quick is available.
