AWS aws-mcp documentation change

Service: aws-mcp · 2026-03-19 · Documentation low

File: aws-mcp/latest/userguide/security_iam_troubleshoot.md

Summary

Updated service name from 'AWS MCP Server' to 'AWS MCP Server (Preview)' throughout the IAM troubleshooting documentation.

Security assessment

The change is purely a branding/naming update to reflect the service's preview status. It does not alter any security guidance, policies, or procedures. The content about IAM permissions, troubleshooting unauthorized actions, and cross-account access remains functionally identical.
