AWS clean-rooms documentation change

File: clean-rooms/latest/userguide/setting-up-roles.md

Summary

Removed section on creating administrator users including security best practices for credential management

Security assessment

Removal of security guidance about short-term credentials and IAM Identity Center reduces security documentation but doesn't address a specific vulnerability. The change appears to be content reorganization.
