Hi,  
I want an automation job from AWX to run with AWS permissions, is there a way to have the pod thats created as “automation job” have a service account linked to it?

You can specify a serviceaccount in the Default containergroup pod spec (Instance Groups menu \> edit “default” ) if you want all jobs to use the same serviceaccount, otherwise you will need to create a new one and configure your templates to use the new one.
