This example grants a service an exception to the restriction enforcing a max lifetime on new certificates it adds to other applications and service principals. The service will be represented by its service principal. Find the service principal for a service by searching for it in [Enterprise applications](https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/StartboardApplicationsMenuBlade/~/AppAppsPreview).

> [!NOTE]
> If you assign a caller-based exemption to a user, that user still may not be able to use the Entra admin center or Azure portal to modify applications in a way that violates the policy unless they have the [attribute assignment reader role](https://learn.microsoft.com/entra/identity/role-based-access-control/permissions-reference#attribute-assignment-reader). This isn't required for other app management interfaces, like Microsoft Graph or Powershell.
