AWS connect documentation change

Service: connect · 2026-05-01 · Documentation low

File: connect/latest/adminguide/enable-attachments.md

Summary

Added a new step for enabling file attachment configuration permissions, renumbered subsequent steps, and updated step references in the text.

Security assessment

The change adds documentation on assigning permissions for file attachment settings in security profiles, which is a security feature for access control. However, there is no concrete evidence of a specific security vulnerability, weakness, or incident being addressed; it appears to be a documentation enhancement for existing security practices.
