This update enables organizations to maintain native Google Drive access controls by replicating ACLs for filtering and performing permission checks in real time at query time, ensuring responses reflect live user rights. The dual approach balances performance from indexed ACLs with accurate, up-to-date permission enforcement.

Available across all supported AWS regions, this feature improves data governance by aligning document accessibility with Google's native sharing settings when using Amazon Quick search capabilities over Google Drive knowledge bases.
