**Tell us about your request**

Add form option to select permissions boundary when creating role for EKS node groups.

**Which service(s) is this request for?**

EKS

**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**

In a sandbox-type environment and for those learning, the AWS console is usually the first place to go to provision resources.

**Are you currently working around this issue?**

I cannot. Our SCP denies the ability to create roles without a permissions boundary and required policy cannot be attached to a customer role.
