AWS fsx documentation change

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

File: fsx/latest/WindowsGuide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md

Summary

Removed redundant statement about users being unable to perform tasks via AWS console/CLI/API by default, while maintaining core message about requiring IAM policies for permissions.

Security assessment

The change simplifies existing security documentation about IAM policies but does not address a specific vulnerability or add new security features. The removed text was redundant rather than security-critical.

-By default, users and roles don't have permission to create or modify FSx for Windows File Server resources. They also can't perform tasks by using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS API. To grant users permission to perform actions on the resources that they need, an IAM administrator can create IAM policies. The administrator can then add the IAM policies to roles, and users can assume the roles.
