Amazon Quick ACL Verification Feature

Amazon Quick now offers ACL verification for ACL-enabled knowledge bases, allowing administrators to verify if a specific user has access to a particular document. This feature simplifies troubleshooting access issues and ensures sensitive documents are properly restricted.

What to do

  • Open a knowledge base with document-level ACLs enabled.
  • Navigate to the Sync reports tab.
  • Choose View Access Details from the actions menu next to any synced item.
  • Use the Permission Checker to enter a user's email address and confirm access.
  • The panel displays all users and groups with access to the document.

The Permission Checker returns one of three results: the user has access, the user does not have access, or no ACL was found for the document.

This feature is available for ACL-enabled Knowledge Bases in all AWS Regions where Amazon Quick is available. For more information, see Sync reports and observability in the Amazon Quick User Guide.

Amazon Quick is available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), Europe (Frankfurt), Europe (London), and Europe (Ireland). For more information, visit the Amazon Quick page.
