Service: next-generation-sagemaker · 2025-07-25 · Security-related medium

File: next-generation-sagemaker/latest/userguide/setting-up.md

Summary

Added instructions for password setup via email, navigation to SageMaker Unified Studio, and MFA requirements during sign-in. Fixed a typo in domain creation step.

Security assessment

The change explicitly adds documentation about MFA enforcement during sign-in, which is a security feature. It also clarifies authentication workflows (SSO credentials and password setup via email), directly addressing secure access controls. The MFA requirement and SSO integration are security best practices.
