AWS iot: Update IAM role link anchors in create-rule page

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

File: iot/latest/developerguide/iot-create-rule.md

Summary

Updates two links to the 'Granting an AWS IoT rule the access it requires' section to point to the new #iot-create-role-iam anchor. No content or security guidance changed.

Security assessment

Only the URL fragment (#iot-create-role-iam) was added to existing links; the surrounding IAM role text is unchanged. Purely a navigational/link fix with no security impact.

Evidence

+Before you create an AWS IoT rule, you must create an IAM role with a policy that allows access to the required AWS resources. AWS IoT assumes this role when implementing a rule. For more information, see [Granting an AWS IoT rule the access it requires](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/iot-create-role.html#iot-create-role-iam) and [Passing role permissions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/pass-role.html).
