AWS cli documentation change

Service: cli · 2026-07-10 · Documentation low

File: cli/latest/reference/inspector2/update-configuration.md

Summary

Updated command description to clarify delegated administrator functionality, added --account-id parameter for member account targeting, and added --update-configuration-inheritance parameter to reset scan configurations to inherited values.

Security assessment

The changes enhance documentation for Amazon Inspector's configuration management capabilities, specifically adding options for delegated administrators to manage member account scan configurations. While this relates to security posture management, there's no evidence of addressing a specific vulnerability. The changes document security features for centralized scan configuration management.
