AWS datazone: DataZone doc history: subscription target authz and IAM policy update

Service: datazone · 2026-10-08 · Documentation medium

File: datazone/latest/userguide/doc-history.md · Type: iam

Summary

Adds two changelog entries: one clarifying that CreateSubscriptionTarget, UpdateSubscriptionTarget, and DeleteSubscriptionTarget are authorized at the AWS account level and do not require project membership; and one noting the AmazonDataZoneRedshiftGlueProvisioningPolicy now includes cloudformation:UntagResource for removing tags from managed CloudFormation stacks.

Security assessment

The entries document authorization semantics for subscription target APIs (account-level authorization rather than project membership) and a change to an AWS managed IAM policy (adding cloudformation:UntagResource), which is directly relevant to IAM permissions and least-privilege review, though it documents behavior rather than fixing a disclosed vulnerability.
