AWS deepracer documentation change
Summary
Removed mention of default denial for performing tasks via AWS Management Console, CLI, or API. Simplified explanation of IAM administrator's role in granting permissions.
Security assessment
The change removes redundant details about default access restrictions but does not address a specific security vulnerability or weakness. The core security principle (default deny + need for explicit IAM policies) remains intact. This appears to be a documentation simplification rather than a response to a security incident.
