AWS repostprivate documentation change
Summary
Streamlined IAM policy Action/Resource element explanations by removing details about exceptions and resource-level permission requirements.
Security assessment
Similar to the Rekognition file changes, this simplifies policy documentation without addressing security vulnerabilities or adding security-specific content. Focus is on clarity rather than security fixes.
