AWS quick documentation change
Summary
Updated documentation for Microsoft OneDrive connector in Amazon QuickSight to detail three authentication methods (Default OAuth app, Custom OAuth app, Service-to-Service OAuth), restructured setup instructions, and added a new section on admin consent for Microsoft 365.
Security assessment
The changes add comprehensive documentation for different OAuth authentication methods, emphasizing security control and organizational requirements. It introduces a 'Service-to-Service OAuth' method for automated workflows and details admin consent processes for third-party app access. While this enhances security documentation by clarifying authentication options and administrative controls, there is no evidence in the diff that it addresses a specific, pre-existing security vulnerability or incident.
