service principles. Jonathan just said that no non-human identities are very important and we think are the most critical objects in your environment because they are unique, important and very dangerous. They have usually long lived passwords and certificates that you can use to authenticate as the service principle and they operate differently than users. They operate in an app onlyly context and it lets you bypass security controls like MFA and conditional access policies.
