AWS chatbot documentation change

Service: chatbot · 2025-05-31 · Documentation low

File: chatbot/latest/adminguide/security-iam.md

Summary

Updated documentation to consistently specify 'Amazon Q Developer in chat channels' instead of generic 'Amazon Q Developer' throughout IAM policy documentation

Security assessment

The changes clarify the exact service scope (chat channels) for IAM policies but do not address any specific security vulnerabilities or introduce new security features. This appears to be documentation precision improvement rather than security-related modification.
