Summary

Added requirement that QuickSight sign-up with IAM Identity Center must use the same region as the IAM Identity Center instance

Security assessment

The change clarifies regional configuration requirements but does not address a specific security vulnerability or weakness. It prevents misconfiguration rather than fixing a security issue.
