Summary

Updated IAM permissions reference to include GetClusterCredentialsWithIAM API method

The change adds documentation about the GetClusterCredentialsWithIAM method, which is part of IAM credential management - a security feature. However, there's no indication this addresses an active security issue, rather it improves documentation accuracy for existing security controls.
