AWS lake-formation documentation change

Service: lake-formation · 2026-05-31 · Documentation low

File: lake-formation/latest/dg/getting-started-tutorial-jdbc.md

Summary

Replaced references to a specific 'administrator user' with generic 'user with AdministratorAccess policy' in multiple console sign-in instructions.

Security assessment

Changes promote role-based access instead of fixed admin users, improving security posture. However, this is a routine best-practice update without evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
