AWS controltower: Reformat CLI example and update IAM role notes for LZ v4

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

File: controltower/latest/userguide/lz-api-prereques.md · Type: iam

Summary

Reformatted the aws organizations move-account command with line continuations, fixed an anchor link for AWSControlTowerCloudTrailRole, and noted AWSControlTowerConfigAggregatorRoleForOrganizations is not required for landing zone 4.0+.

Security assessment

Touches IAM service role prerequisites and an account-move command, but only reformats examples and updates a role requirement note; no new security control or fix is described.

Evidence

+  * [`AWSControlTowerConfigAggregatorRoleForOrganizations`](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/controltower/latest/userguide/roles-how.html#config-role-for-organizations) (not required for landing zone version 4.0 and later)
