AWS outposts documentation change

File: outposts/latest/userguide/security_iam_id-based-policy-examples.md

Summary

Simplified default permissions description by removing references to console/CLI/API access restrictions

Security assessment

Change appears to be editorial simplification rather than security-related. The core message about default deny policies remains intact, with no evidence of addressing or introducing security flaws.

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.
