File: efs/latest/ug/accessing-fs-nfs-permissions.md

Summary

Updated references to 'Amazon EFS access points' links to use simpler 'access points' link text in multiple sections

Security assessment

The changes are purely cosmetic link text updates without altering security-related content. While access points are security-related features, these changes only modify phrasing of existing documentation links rather than adding new security information or addressing vulnerabilities.

-An _access point_ applies an operating system user, group, and file system path to any file system request made using the access point. The access point's operating system user and group override any identity information provided by the NFS client. The file system path is exposed to the client as the access point's root directory. This approach ensures that each application always uses the correct operating system identity and the correct directory when accessing shared file-based datasets. Applications using the access point can only access data in its own directory and below.
