AWS aws-supply-chain documentation change

Service: aws-supply-chain · 2025-04-28 · Documentation low

File: aws-supply-chain/latest/userguide/rolebased.md

Summary

Restructured role-based access control documentation with expanded details about Manage and View access levels, removed step-by-step instructions, and added link to user access management

Security assessment

The changes enhance documentation of access control features by detailing specific capabilities for each role type, but there is no evidence of addressing a specific security vulnerability. The update improves clarity around security-related permissions but does not indicate a security fix.
