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

File: lookoutmetrics/latest/dev/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md

Summary

Removed statement about default inability to perform tasks via AWS Console/CLI/API without permissions, while retaining core explanation of IAM policy requirements.

Security assessment

The change removes redundant details about default access restrictions but maintains the core security principle of requiring explicit IAM policies. No evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability or adding new security features.

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