AWS connect documentation change

Service: connect · 2026-05-10 · Documentation low

File: connect/latest/adminguide/connect-slr.md

Summary

Renamed all occurrences of 'Amazon Connect' to 'Connect Customer' throughout the documentation. Updated service references, role descriptions, feature explanations, and console instructions to reflect the new naming convention.

Security assessment

The changes are purely cosmetic rebranding updates (Amazon Connect → Connect Customer) without modifying any security configurations, permissions, or policies. No vulnerabilities, security incidents, or weaknesses are mentioned or addressed in the diff. The core security content about service-linked roles and permissions remains functionally identical.
