Permission-Aware Retrieval
RAG that respects source-system access controls instead of surfacing content the user cannot read.

Without permission-aware retrieval, the RAG layer becomes a permissions bypass: it indexes content the user would not be allowed to open in the source system and serves it back through the chat surface. See Private RAG.
