 #### Set up driver permission
 The driver requires IAM permission to talk to Amazon EFS to manage the volume on user's behalf. There are several methods to grant driver IAM permission:
-* Using IAM role for service account (recommended if you're using Amazon EKS) – Create an [IAM Role for service accounts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html) with the required permissions in [iam-policy-example.json](./iam-policy-example.json). Uncomment annotations and put the IAM role ARN in the [service-account manifest](../deploy/kubernetes/base/controller-serviceaccount.yaml). For example steps, see [Create an IAM policy and role for Amazon EKS](./iam-policy-create.md).
+* Using the EKS Pod Identity Add-on - [Install the EKS Pod Identity add-on to your EKS cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/pod-id-agent-setup.html). This doesn't need the efs-csi-driver to be installed through EKS add-on, it can be used no matter the method of installation of the efs-csi-driver. If this installation method is used, the ```AmazonEFSCSIDriverPolicy``` policy has to be added to the cluster's node group's IAM role. 
+* Using IAM role for service account – Create an [IAM Role for service accounts](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/iam-roles-for-service-accounts.html) with the required permissions in [iam-policy-example.json](./iam-policy-example.json). Uncomment annotations and put the IAM role ARN in the [service-account manifest](../deploy/kubernetes/base/controller-serviceaccount.yaml). For example steps, see [Create an IAM policy and role for Amazon EKS](./iam-policy-create.md).
 * Using IAM [instance profile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_use_switch-role-ec2_instance-profiles.html) – Grant all the worker nodes with [required permissions](./iam-policy-example.json) by attaching the policy to the instance profile of the worker.
