    Unfortunately no.  While you can select a different interactive account like NandanHegde suggested, that needs to be a licensed user account, not a service principal/app registration. 

     

    Once the connection is created, you also cannot share it with anyone, so if anyone else touches the pipeline they will need to rebind it to a new connection, defeating the purpose. 

     

    When creating Office 365 mail connections, there is an option for using a service principal, however I have never been able to get it to work, and I've seen posts here from the CST team that it is not supported yet. 

     

    I hope that one day this is supported.
