How to Detect When an AI Assistant Starts Giving Different Answers by User Role

Role-based answer differences may be appropriate when users have different permissions, but they can also expose inconsistent retrieval, missing context, or a cache shared across roles.

What to check

Run the same questions with controlled role accounts, compare sources, permissions, citations, and cache behavior. Verify whether differences match documented access rules rather than model variation alone.

Recommended next step

Enforce retrieval permissions before response generation and isolate cached results by authorization context. Document intended role differences and monitor for answers that reveal restricted information.
