# Update the trust policy of the job execution role
<a name="setting-up-trust-policy"></a>

When you use IAM Roles for Service Accounts (IRSA) to run jobs on a Kubernetes namespace, an administrator must create a trust relationship between the job execution role and the identity of the EMR managed service account. The trust relationship can be created by updating the trust policy of the job execution role. Note that the EMR managed service account is automatically created at job submission, scoped to the namespace where the job is submitted.

Run the following command to update the trust policy.

```
 aws emr-containers update-role-trust-policy \
       --cluster-name cluster \
       --namespace namespace \
       --role-name iam_role_name_for_job_execution
```

For more information, see [Using job execution roles with Amazon EMR on EKS](iam-execution-role.md).

**Important**  
The operator running the above command must have these permissions: `eks:DescribeCluster`, `iam:GetRole`, `iam:UpdateAssumeRolePolicy`.
