The sentence is overly long and complex, making it difficult to read. Consider breaking it into two sentences or restructuring for better clarity. For example: "Currently, due to background applications and service principals object settings dependencies, application owners added by means other than the Entra admin center (such as Graph API or PowerShell) have limited management capabilities. They will not be able to manage certain enterprise application settings, such as attributes and claims, SAML certificate properties, or token encryption settings."

> Currently, due to dependencies related to background applications and service principal object settings, application owners who are added by means other than the Entra admin center (such as Graph API or PowerShell) have limited management capabilities. They will not be able to manage certain enterprise application settings, such as attributes and claims, SAML certificate properties, or token encryption settings.
