Summary

Simplified explanation of IAM policy Action element by removing details about exceptions and dependent actions

Security assessment

The change removes explanatory text about policy action exceptions but maintains core guidance about including actions in policies. While IAM policies are security-related, this edit appears to be a documentation simplification rather than addressing a specific security vulnerability or weakness. No evidence of patching a security issue or adding new security controls.
