AWS emr documentation change

Service: emr · 2025-10-19 · Documentation low

File: emr/latest/EMR-Serverless-UserGuide/lake-formation-unfiltered-access.md

Summary

Clarifications about AWS Lake Formation integration requirements and configuration steps. Strengthened language from 'need to' to 'must' for compliance emphasis.

Security assessment

Changes reinforce existing security documentation about access control modes (FTA vs FGAC) but do not address a specific vulnerability. The 'must' language emphasizes proper security configuration without introducing new security content.
