= Configuring user attributes

User attributes provide a customized experience for each user. You can create a personalized identity for each user in the console by configuring user attributes.

NOTE: Some read-only attributes are not supposed to be updated by the administrators. This includes attributes that are read-only
by design like for example `LDAP_ID`, which is filled automatically by the LDAP provider. Some other attributes should be read-only for
typical user administrators due to security reasons. See the details in the xref:read_only_user_attributes[Mitigating security threats] chapter.
