Access Control for Prompts and Context | ML Knowledge Hub

Robust access control is crucial when utilizing large language models, ensuring sensitive data remains contained within its intended environment and preventing unauthorized cross-tenant access.

Access Control for Prompts and Context

Ensure LLM prompts and context respect tenancy, roles, and data policies with strong scoping, auditing, and safety.

Access control for LLMs must prevent cross-tenant leakage and enforce least privilege for prompts, retrieved context, tool calls, and outputs. Combine identity, policy checks, and data filters across the stack.

Privilege escalation via shared embeddings or caches.

Architecture Blueprint

AuthN with strong tokens; tenant and role claims.

Row/column-level security; PII masking; geo pinning.

Cache isolation; key derivation per tenant/user.

Pre-prompt validation; tool allowlists; schema validation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of segment indexes and caches by tenant?

Segment indexes and caches by tenant; enforce filters at retrieval and caching layers.

How should a policy engine be integrated into the orchestration process?

Integrate policy engine in orchestrator; validate before model call.

What safeguards should be implemented against prompt injection attacks?

Add guardrails for prompt injection; require schema-conformant tool outputs.

What mechanisms should be used to monitor for cross-tenant security breaches?

Instrument auditing; monitor for cross-tenant anomalies.
