Summary

Added documentation for SET_SOURCE_IDENTITY parameter that enables tracking of IAM roles in CloudTrail logs for S3 GetObject calls

Security assessment

This change adds documentation for a new configuration parameter (SET_SOURCE_IDENTITY) that enhances security auditing capabilities by including IAM role identifiers in CloudTrail logs. This improves audit trail visibility for S3 data access but does not address a specific security vulnerability or incident.
