create user token to teams bot
MicrosoftChenguangHe -To communicate with the Bot Connector service, you must specify an access token in the Authorization.
Request an access token based on your bot's application type-
- As a user-assigned managed identity, so that you don't need to manage the bot's credentials yourself.
- As a single-tenant app.
- As a multi-tenant app.
Multitenant-
POST https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/token
Host: login.microsoftonline.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=MICROSOFT-APP-ID&client_secret=MICROSOFT-APP-PASSWORD&scope=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.botframework.com%2F.default
The app can use the refresh token to get a new access token when the current one expires.
https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant}/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?
client_id=11111111-1111-1111-1111-111111111111
&response_type=code
&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2Fmyapp%2F
&response_mode=query
&scope=offline_access%20user.read%20mail.read
&state=12345
The grant type is client_credential, I think the token is app token instead of user token.
And when I check the token by getting /me, the response is the info of the account which i login in. What I want is that assign a user token to the bot so the bot can send chat messages to any member in thread without user joining in.

Microsoft Teams bots are conversational bots that run repetitive automated tasks done by the users, such as customer service. The user needs to sign in multiple times without single sign-on (SSO) authentication. With SSO authentication methods, the users don't need to sign in to the bot multiple times.
