AWS tk-dotnet-refactoring documentation change

Service: tk-dotnet-refactoring · 2025-11-22 · Documentation low

File: tk-dotnet-refactoring/latest/userguide/dotnet-refactoring-iam.md

Summary

Updated URLs to include double slashes in IAM Identity Center documentation links and added new section recommending temporary credentials for programmatic access with AWS CLI/SDK guidance

Security assessment

The change promotes using temporary credentials over long-term credentials (security best practice) but does not address a specific security vulnerability. URL formatting fixes are administrative.
