## IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA)

You can attach custom annotations to the ServiceAccounts created by the `dapr_rbac` Helm subchart—useful for enabling IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) on AWS EKS.
This enables fine-grained, secure access control for Dapr components using EKS’s IRSA mechanism.
Update your Dapr Helm values files to include the following necessary annotations for the ServiceAccounts.

```yaml
serviceAccount:
operator:
annotations:
eks.amazonaws.com/role-arn: arn:aws:iam::<ACCOUNT_ID>:role/operator-role
injector:
annotations: {}
placement:
annotations: {}
scheduler:
annotations: {}
sentry:
annotations: {}
