File: bedrock/latest/userguide/guardrails-prereq.md

Summary

Removed prerequisite step to request model access for guardrails, leaving only IAM permission requirements.

Security assessment

This change aligns with the updated default model access policy. While guardrails are a security feature, the modification only removes redundant steps rather than addressing a security vulnerability. Documentation still emphasizes IAM permissions for security controls.
