AWS systems-manager documentation change

Service: systems-manager · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: systems-manager/latest/userguide/security-iam-awsmanpol.md

Summary

Updated IAM documentation links by adding double slashes in URLs and changed 'AWS Directory Service' to 'Directory Service' in policy description

Security assessment

The changes correct URL formatting and terminology but do not address security vulnerabilities or introduce new security features. Permissions boundary documentation already existed and the updates are link/terminology fixes rather than security content changes.
