Summary

Added documentation update for AWSBudgetsActions_RolePolicyForResourceAdministrationWithSSM policy requiring automation-execution and document permissions for ssm:StartAutomationExecution

Security assessment

This change documents an update to a managed IAM policy that adds required permissions for SSM automation execution. While this is security-related documentation about IAM permissions, there is no evidence it addresses a specific security vulnerability or incident - it appears to be a routine policy update to support new functionality.
