Service: bedrock · 2025-08-13 · Documentation low

File: bedrock/latest/userguide/getting-started-console.md

Summary

Replaced 'IAM identity' with 'IAM principal' terminology in two console sign-in steps, adding IAM documentation link

Security assessment

Terminology update for consistency with IAM concepts. No evidence of addressing a security vulnerability or adding security features - improves clarity but doesn't change security posture.
