AWS audit-manager documentation change

Service: audit-manager · 2026-06-04 · Documentation low

File: audit-manager/latest/userguide/setup-prerequisites.md

Summary

Restructured prerequisite documentation by replacing task list with topic-based organization and removed administrative user creation instructions.

Security assessment

Content reorganization without security implications. Removal of administrative user setup doesn't indicate vulnerability remediation; likely documentation streamlining. No security features added.
