AWS gameliftservers documentation change

Service: gameliftservers · 2025-11-07 · Documentation low

File: gameliftservers/latest/developerguide/unity-plug-in-profiles.md

Summary

Updated documentation to clarify 'Set up an AWS user account' instead of 'Set up an AWS account' in IAM context

Security assessment

The change clarifies the need to create a dedicated IAM user rather than using the root account, which aligns with security best practices. However, this is a documentation refinement rather than addressing a specific disclosed vulnerability or security incident.
