AWS IAM documentation change
Summary
Changed references from 'federated users' to 'SAML federated principals' to align with IAM terminology and clarify authentication scope
Security assessment
Terminology updates improve consistency with AWS security concepts but don't address specific vulnerabilities or introduce new security features. Changes maintain existing security posture through clearer documentation.
