Simplified explanation of IAM policy Action element by removing details about exceptions (permission-only actions) and dependent actions
Security assessment
The change removes explanatory content about policy action exceptions but does not address any specific security vulnerability or weakness. This appears to be an editorial simplification rather than a security-related update.
