Summary

Removed entire troubleshooting content for IAM access issues and cross-account access guidance

Security assessment

The deletion removes troubleshooting guidance for IAM permissions and cross-account access, but there's no evidence this addresses an active security issue. This appears to be content removal rather than a security fix.

-## I am not authorized to perform an action in Data Transfer Terminal
-
-If you're unable to view or schedule reservations in the AWS Data Transfer Terminal console, you may not have the required permissions. Contact your account administrator to configure an IAM identity policy that grants you access and appropriate permissions.
-
-## I want to allow people outside of my AWS account to access my Data Transfer Terminal resources
-
-You can create a role that users in other accounts or people outside of your organization can use to access your resources. You can specify who is trusted to assume the role. For services that support resource-based policies or access control lists (ACLs), you can use those policies to grant people access to your resources.
