AWS opensearch-service: Replace placeholders in fine-grained access control policy examples

Service: opensearch-service · 2026-10-08 · Documentation low

File: opensearch-service/latest/developerguide/fgac.md

Summary

Root principal ARNs and domain resource ARNs in FGAC examples were updated from account-id/domain-arn placeholders to concrete us-east-1/111122223333 values.

Security assessment

Documentation-only placeholder standardization; the FGAC policy semantics and permissions are not altered.

Evidence

          "Resource": "arn:aws:es:us-east-1:111122223333:domain/domain-name/*"
