AWS IAM documentation change
Summary
Updated terminology from 'federated users' to 'OIDC and SAML federated principals' and simplified section headers for CLI/API procedures.
Security assessment
The changes involve terminology updates (e.g., 'users' to 'principals') and header simplifications. There is no evidence these changes address a security vulnerability or weakness; they appear to improve clarity and alignment with IAM terminology.
