Can some give an explanation of usage of the visual editors and of we need this setup for the new Fleet-Managed AWS Integration as this is taken from the old Metricbeat AWS Module. Is the resource for VisualEditor1 & VisualEditor2 still relevant ?

> Here are the steps to set up IAM role using AWS CLI for Metricbeat. Please replace `123456789012` with your own account ID.

                "s3:GetObject",
                "sqs:ReceiveMessage"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        },
        {

        },
        {

            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
