AWS forecast documentation change

Service: forecast · 2025-10-22 · Documentation low

File: forecast/latest/dg/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md

Summary

Removed redundant statement about default permissions and simplified explanation of IAM policy assignment process.

Security assessment

The change removes a redundant explanation of default permissions (users can't perform tasks via console/CLI/API) and simplifies the policy assignment process description. While the topic relates to IAM security, there is no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or weakness. The edit appears to be a routine documentation clarification rather than a security fix.

The administrator can then add the IAM policies to roles, and users can assume the roles.
