If that's the only concern, I would simply reverse it and clear the requirement for service accounts (i.e. based on some attribute representing that). That's much safer. Trying to "add" the requirement conditionally is much more prone to loopholes than clearing it conditionally, and it also allows things to fail closed in the event the attribute can't be fetched due to failure.
