@mishakogan, Conditional Access Policies are only used for User Identities as of now. Conditional Access Policies while authenticating Service Principals, is not yet available. As of now the Conditional Access policy only works after a user successfully authenticates with AAD.

Hope this helps. Do let me know, any more queries around this.

@souravmishra-msft - thank you for your answer. When will this functionality be available? How can we track this work? Is there a roadmap for conditional access?

@MicrosoftGuyJFlo - how can we get more information on this? If this feature is planned, who can we contact to get the information needed?

[MicrosoftGuyJFlo]

The best I can tell you is to provide the feedback using the product feedback tool at the bottom of the doc. That feedback being voted on there is how the product team identifies feature work to be completed. Within the docs platform we are unable to provide roadmaps or date guidance.
