Even though we can't actually suggest any particular policy to use
other than AdministratorAccess, we've been requested to make it
very clear that developers shouldn't be using AdministratorAccess
without thinking (after an engagement in which an organization's
CCoE was displeased with individual developer teams copy/pasting
example bootstrapping commands from our developer guides).

Add a note to tell developers to check with their organization's CCoE
before using AdministratorAccess.
