AWS AmazonS3 documentation change

Service: AmazonS3 · 2025-08-28 · Documentation low

File: AmazonS3/latest/userguide/security_iam_service-with-iam.md

Summary

Removed multiple IAM policy examples including bucket policies, access point policies, and identity-based permissions

Security assessment

Elimination of policy templates from IAM security documentation reduces example availability but doesn't fix security flaws. Changes are editorial rather than vulnerability-related.
