AWS IAM documentation change
Summary
1. Clarified session tag override behavior 2. Updated 'federated users' to 'federated principals' 3. Updated role configuration documentation link
Security assessment
Changes improve documentation accuracy but don't address security vulnerabilities. The session tag clarification helps prevent misconfiguration but doesn't introduce new security features.
