Exclusion path A specific use case for this, is that of OpenAI integration where they want to expose the chatGPT API through APIM, however some of the tools that you use it from do not support open authentication and some do. It was important to be able to segregate them and allow those that do.
That way, a set of users can be sent through one path and others through another path, thereby creating a tidy split.
