Hello, is there a way for me to identify in BC any user that has ever installed extensions in BC? Change log and extension page have been explored to no avail. Can anyone provide any guidance?

I believe the best way is using telemetry, you can use telemetry to capture extension lifecycle events like installs, uninstalls, and updates, including user-initiated actions from the Extension Management page.

Still thinking like Why Microsoft didn't provide this information directly on the same screen. BC User is anyway needed to execute this.

Could be some security reasons and hence we need to land on telemetry for this little infoirmation.
