Summary

Updated documentation about consequences of deleting IAM Identity Center instance and recovery steps for Multi-party approval identity sources

Security assessment

The changes clarify operational recovery steps after IAM Identity Center deletion but do not address a specific security vulnerability. The documentation improves awareness of maintaining approval workflows, which is security-adjacent but not evidence of a resolved security issue.

However, if you have active approval teams when the IAM Identity Center instance is deleted, these teams become non-functional. Approvers can no longer access the Multi-party approval portal to vote on sessions. To restore functionality, create a new IAM Identity Center instance with users and connect to a new identity source before you follow the approval team recovery process.
