AWS systems-manager documentation change

Service: systems-manager · 2026-03-13 · Documentation low

File: systems-manager/latest/userguide/state-manager-associations-edit.md

Summary

Added the '--association-dispatch-assume-role' parameter to CLI examples for editing State Manager associations, consistent with the creation documentation.

Security assessment

This change adds the same IAM role parameter to the edit association documentation, ensuring consistency and enabling users to apply the custom role principle when modifying existing associations. It supports the same security best practice of using custom IAM roles but does not indicate a response to a specific security incident.
