Is it possible to set user attributes using API method
sdk.set_user_attribute_user_value(user_id=10, user_attribute_id=1, body=models.WriteUserAttributeWithValue(value='value'))?
I have multiple realms and I want to do some actions in a loop changing some user attribute (realm in my case) but have this error:
looker_sdk.error.SDKError: {"message":"Setting system-level user attributes is not permitted.","documentation_url":"http://docs.looker.com/"}
Thanks!

| first_name | First Name | System setting |

| name | Full Name | System setting |

We can not edit Looker’s system-level attributes (listed in the table above).
In your example call, `user_attribute_id = 1` is being used. I used `get/user_attributes` to see which attribute this id refers to, and confirm that it refers to “first_name”.
If the intention is to change users’ first name, you could use `sdk.update_user()`. Otherwise, you could try make a new user attribute, then make the same SDK call on that new non-system-setting attribute.
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
