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

File: iot/latest/developerguide/cloudwatch-alarms-rule-action.md

Summary

Updated the 'Granting an AWS IoT rule the access it requires' link to point to the specific #iot-create-role-iam anchor.

Security assessment

Only a hyperlink anchor was changed; the IAM role requirement text is unchanged and no new security guidance is added.

Evidence

+  * An IAM role that AWS IoT can assume to perform the `cloudwatch:SetAlarmState` operation. For more information, see [Granting an AWS IoT rule the access it requires](./iot-create-role.html#iot-create-role-iam).
