AWS IAM: Fix AWS CLI and SDKs URLs

Service: IAM · 2026-08-19 · Documentation low

File: IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_delegate-permissions_examples.md

Summary

Corrected URLs for AWS CLI and AWS SDKs by removing incorrect prefixes.

Security assessment

The change fixes broken links without modifying security-related permissions guidance.

Evidence

+A number of the permissions included in the preceding policy allow the user to perform tasks in the AWS Management Console. Users who perform user-related tasks from the [AWS CLI](http://aws.amazon.com/cli/), the [AWS SDKs](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/), or the IAM HTTP query API only might not need certain permissions. For example, if users already know the ARN of policies to detach from a user, they do not need the `iam:ListAttachedUserPolicies` permission. The exact list of permissions that a user requires depends on the tasks that the user must perform while managing other users.
