What is Permission-Aware Results?
What does 'Permission-Aware Results' mean?
Permission-aware results mean the index carries the access rules of each source system, so two people running the same search see different results depending on what they are allowed to open. It is the feature that decides whether a search product can be pointed at finance, legal and HR content at all. The thing to compare is when the check happens: rules read once at crawl time go stale the moment a document is reshared, while a check made per person at query time stays current.
