AWS deadline-cloud documentation change

Service: deadline-cloud · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: deadline-cloud/latest/userguide/managing-users.md

Summary

Restructured user management documentation to emphasize identity source configuration and organizational ownership.

Security assessment

The updates provide clearer guidance on access governance but lack evidence of addressing a security flaw. They document security-related processes (organizational ownership of access) without indicating a vulnerability fix.
