AWS chatbot documentation change

Service: chatbot · 2025-08-01 · Documentation low

File: chatbot/latest/adminguide/security_iam_service-with-iam-id-based-policies.md

Summary

Updated terminology from 'chat channels' to 'chat applications' throughout document, added example IAM policy configuration for chat applications, and modified section headers/links to reflect service name change

Security assessment

The changes primarily update service naming conventions and add an example IAM policy configuration. While IAM policies are security-related, there is no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or security incident. The modifications improve documentation clarity about existing security features rather than responding to a security issue.
