AWS connect documentation change

File: connect/latest/adminguide/assign-security-profile-cases.md

Summary

Added granular permissions for case management including deletion rights for cases/comments/attachments, and differentiated between global vs user-owned resource permissions

Security assessment

The changes document new IAM permissions for case resource management (delete/edit operations) and implement principle of least privilege by separating 'All Cases' vs 'My Cases' permissions. While this enhances security controls, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
