Summary

Added four new IAM permissions required for login nodes management: autoscaling:DeleteTags, autoscaling:CreateOrUpdateTags, elasticloadbalancing:RemoveTags, and elasticloadbalancing:ModifyTargetGroup

Security assessment

This change adds documentation about required IAM permissions for managing login nodes. While IAM permissions are security-related, there's no evidence this addresses a specific security vulnerability. The change appears to be adding missing permissions documentation for proper functionality.
