# Edit a service-linked role for Amazon MSK
<a name="edit-slr"></a>

Amazon MSK does not allow you to edit the AWSServiceRoleForKafka service-linked role. After you create a service-linked role, you cannot change the name of the role because various entities might reference the role. However, you can edit the description of the role using IAM. For more information, see [Editing a Service-Linked Role](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/using-service-linked-roles.html#edit-service-linked-role) in the *IAM User Guide*.
