botframework & microsoft-teams : Need to access User Machine related information through MS Teams

Question

I have created a bot framework application like chatbot in .net core 3.1 which is deployed on Azure and this chatbot application is using by a number of users of an IT company through MS Teams. So through MS Teams can we access User Machine related information like (Machine Name, device name, device OS and can invoke any exe which is placed on the user machine). Can we identify from which device (Mobile/Laptop) the user is interacting with our Chatbot application through Teams? actually, we want to perform some automation activity on the user machine based on user input and this automation would only execute on a laptop or desktop but not on the mobile devices, so need to identify if user is sending out the response from a mobile phone or a laptop. Please provide help on that.

@Dwivedi, Hariom (MIND) ,

I searched many official documents about bot framework. However, I did not find such information about the scope of bot’s permissions.

Then, I checked some official bots’ permissions, which mainly related to the Teams itself, not user machine. The following image is just for your reference.

Meanwhile, as we are mainly responsible for general issue of Microsoft Teams, your question which is involved in development is not in our scope. I would add the office-teams-app-dev tag. Hope you get better response.
