Amazon Quick introduced support for document-level ACLs in Amazon S3 knowledge bases, allowing differentiated access permissions at the document or folder level. This helps secure sensitive data and regulate user or group access precisely within large knowledge repositories.

Controls can be configured via a global ACL file for centralized folder-level management or through document-specific metadata files enabling more agile permission updates. This measure enforces strict access, omitting non-compliant documents from ingestion, ensuring consistent protection across content stored in S3.
