App-only authentication for unattended scripts for Exchange Online

We want to run a Powershell script unattended for Exchange Online so I'm setting up an registered application on Azure portal based on document App Only Authentication.

I followed all 4 steps successfully however on step 5, I'm unable to select registered app from Roles and Admin Assignments. It does not show my newly created application to select as an assignment to Roles and administrators > Exchange administrator > Add Assignment.

My registered application is:

105108327-3a42da80-5a77-11eb-81b3-a1460dc39360.png

As per Step 5, when I try to search this application within Roles and administrators > Exchange administrator > Add Assignment I do not see it there:

105108548-bb9a6d00-5a77-11eb-8651-eea9bda86dfd.png

Do we need to follow any additional steps which are not listed in this document?

    The Azure AD folks seems to have pushed an update that removes service principal objects from this page, use PowerShell instead:

    Add-AzureADDirectoryRoleMember -ObjectId xxxxx -RefObjectId xxxxx
