How to Keep AI Tools From Using Data Beyond a User’s Permission

An assistant may retrieve information through a service account that has broader access than the person asking the question.

Checks to make

Enforce authorization for each retrieval using the requester’s permissions, test revoked and restricted accounts, and verify citations do not reveal inaccessible documents. Review service account scope and fail closed when user identity cannot be established.

When to get help

AI integration assessment can test permission-aware retrieval. Informatix Systems can assess the symptoms, evidence, and next steps. Contact Informatix Systems to discuss this issue.
