AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-01-04 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/identitystore/describe-user.md

Summary

Added new Roles section to user description output showing assigned roles

Security assessment

Added documentation for role information in user descriptions, which relates to access control visibility. This enhances security documentation but doesn't fix a vulnerability.
