RAGAI SECURITY ENGINEERING

Authorization at retrieval time

Users should retrieve only chunks they are authorized to access in the source system.

HR and engineering documents live in one vector store but retrieval applies per-user metadata filters.

SECURITY DECISION

REMEMBERNever let vector similarity bypass authorization.
