AWS awsconsolehelpdocs documentation change
Summary
Completely restructured the getting started guide for AWS User Experience Customization (UXC), adding detailed sections on prerequisites, accessing settings via console and programmatically, and removing general IAM policy descriptions in favor of specific IAM documentation links.
Security assessment
The change reorganizes documentation and adds explicit references to IAM security documentation ('How AWS User Experience Customization works with IAM' and 'AWS managed policies for the AWS Management Console'). This improves security awareness by directing users to proper IAM configuration but doesn't address a specific security vulnerability.
