Service: cost-management · 2026-04-25 · Documentation low

File: cost-management/latest/userguide/schedule-dashboard-reports.md

Summary

Removed iam:CreateServiceLinkedRole permission requirement and updated link from service-linked role documentation to execution role permissions documentation

Security assessment

This change updates documentation to reflect the transition from service-linked roles to execution roles with specific permissions. This improves security posture by implementing least privilege, but there's no evidence of a specific security issue being addressed.
