AWS iot-twinmaker documentation change

Service: iot-twinmaker · 2025-10-22 · Documentation low

File: iot-twinmaker/latest/guide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md

Summary

Removed explicit mention of users being unable to perform tasks via AWS Management Console, CLI, or API by default. Simplified the explanation of default permissions.

Security assessment

The change simplifies documentation wording but does not introduce or address any specific security vulnerability. The core security principle (default deny permissions) remains intact. No evidence of a security incident or weakness being patched.

-By default, users and roles don't have permission to create or modify AWS IoT TwinMaker 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.
