feature

Amazon Q now includes approval policies, providing administrators with governance controls over how sensitive assets are shared within their organization. These policies route share requests for assets like knowledge bases, spaces, and custom chat agents to designated approvers for review before access is granted. This ensures deliberate, compliant, and auditable sharing, with all workflow events captured in AWS CloudTrail for transparency. The feature is available for Professional and Enterprise plans in all AWS Regions supporting Amazon Q agentic capabilities.
