Permit.io User Attributes API is one of 43 APIs that [Permit.io](https://apis.io/providers/permit-io/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include User Attributes. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, and an API reference.

User attributes allow you to specify an arbitrary schema attributes that are part of the definition of the User resource. Attributes are used to enforce attribute-based access control policies. *NOTE: A User is a Resource by itself, so basically a user's attribute is an attribute that assigned to the resource called "user".* For example, if we are building the github's permissions system, we might want to know whether the user is an owner of the organization or not. In such case we will define a string `owner` attribute that we can now use in our policies.
