Access Control
A security mechanism that restricts the operations different users may perform through role-based tiering. In law-enforcement surveillance systems it is used to control permissions for data queries and sharing, and together with audit logs it forms the compliance infrastructure of a monitoring system.

A vector index is essentially a copy of the documents, must be kept in sync with the data source, requires rebuilding the entire index when the embedding model is changed, and must enforce the same access permission controls as the original system.
In a RAG assistant, a vector index may bypass the original system's permission checks, causing unauthorized users to silently obtain sensitive documents through semantic retrieval, and if personal data is involved, this may also constitute a compliance issue.
Garrett Langley mentioned that Flock is strengthening compliance tools, such as audit logs and access permission controls.
