Description
**What would you like to be added**:
I want to provide pods using a specific service account to read/write to an S3 folder name that is derived from either the namespace or the service account name.
For example, creating IAM role with the following policy:
```
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": [
"s3:*Object"
],
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::/${oidc.eks..amazonaws.com/id/.amazonaws.com/id/:` and I want to somehow extract only the namespace or service account name and use that as the folder prefix.
If I was able to substring the `sub` to its different sections that would provide me with what I need.
For example:
`${OIDC_PROVIDER}:sub": "system:serviceaccount::`
`${OIDC_PROVIDER}:sub:namespace": "`
`${OIDC_PROVIDER}:sub:serviceaccount": "`
**Why is this needed**:
Provide a single role that can serve multiple service accounts (I have thousands and I would hit the role limit quota if I will create a dedicated role per service account)

Research direction
No repository files, tests, or entry points are identified in the issue. Start by checking the AWS IAM policy example and whether the OIDC `sub` claim can be parsed into namespace or service-account components; done means defining a supported way to derive the S3 folder prefix for multiple service accounts without separate roles.
