Adding a RAG assistant to a 300-staff internal portal: SSO is easy, permissions are not
Academic-Moss898 · reddit · 2026-10-16
A developer's team runs an internal portal for 300 staff holding project records, client notes, and budget numbers, and management wants a chat assistant that answers from their own data (e.g., "What's the status of the Denver project?").
- SSO login is already solved; the hard part is permissions — when someone switches teams, the bot must immediately lose access to the old team's data
- The author asks whether others have built this and how they tested that it doesn't leak content users shouldn't see
