Looker Embed URL Doesn't Update User Attributes

[negareh]

I have embedded Looker in our application in an iframe. We are using Looker User Attributes to pass settings such as current branch, timezone, etc. However, when our users change their settings such as their branch or timezone, when the page is refreshed and a new URL is generated, the User Attribute does not get updated on Looker until the Looker session ends or the user logs out of Looker. 

Is there no way of fixing this except setting every parameter again using https://docs.looker.com/reference/api-and-integration/api-reference/v3.0/user#set_user_attribute_use... ?

Hello,

Are you using private embed (users have looker logins) or signed embed (embed users cannot log in directly to Looker)?

If it is signed embed, then this is as expected since the user attribute values are set when creating the signed embed URL.

Best,
Drew
