Amazon Quick Adds Deny by Default for Custom Permissions

feature

Amazon Quick has introduced a "deny by default" governance setting for custom permissions, automatically restricting new AI capabilities before they are exposed to users. This new approach allows administrators to preemptively control access to emerging AI features, contrasting with the previous method where capabilities were available to all users on release. Administrators can now restrict entire AI capability categories within a custom permissions profile, explicitly allowing each capability only when ready for specific users, roles, or the entire account. The feature is configurable in Amazon Quick's "Manage account" section or via the AWS CLI and is available in all supported AWS Regions.

This allows administrators to proactively manage access by restricting AI capability categories in a custom profile, and then explicitly enabling capabilities when ready for specific users, roles, or accounts.
