AWS controltower: Correct IAM role name recreated during decommissioning

Service: controltower · 2026-09-27 · Documentation medium

File: controltower/latest/userguide/decommissioning-process-overview.md · Type: iam

Summary

Fixes the recreated IAM role name from OrganizationsFullAccessRole to OrganizationAccountAccessRole in the decommissioning process description.

Security assessment

The change corrects an IAM role name referenced in the decommissioning workflow, which affects permission/role documentation accuracy but does not describe a fixed vulnerability or new security control.

Evidence

+    * Revokes the AWS Control Tower permissions to the account by removing the IAM role that AWS Control Tower created (unless additional policies have been added to it) and recreates the standard `OrganizationAccountAccessRole` IAM role.
