Priority security

I am a BA gold traveling on American tonight with 3 others. Only my boarding pass reflects priority security. Will I be able to bring them with me and if so does the rep only check the first persons boarding pass or will I have to let them know that my companions are with me? Thanks!

IME, they check the boarding pass of each person to quality them for priority security. The only exceptions I've seen are for children.

Airport security are not run by airlines. So in the absence of the qualifying BPs, it is most likely regular line.

If any of the companion has CLEAR or TSA PreCheck, that would be another story.

American NEEDS to change their companion upgrade policy

Companion benefit is not without its limit. That's all I have to say.
