AWS quick documentation change

Service: quick · 2026-05-31 · Documentation low

File: quick/latest/userguide/manage-qs-account-settings.md

Summary

Added documentation for the 'quicksight:DeleteAccountSubscription' IAM permission required for account termination and clarified permissions needed for the DeleteAccountSubscription API.

Security assessment

The change explicitly documents required IAM permissions for account termination operations, which is a security best practice. It clarifies that both 'quicksight:Unsubscribe' and 'quicksight:DeleteAccountSubscription' permissions are needed to avoid AccessDeniedException errors. While this enhances security documentation, there is no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability.
