+### Using user attributes in chart filter values
+
+You can reference user attributes directly in chart filter values to create dynamic filters based on the logged-in user. This is useful for creating charts that automatically filter to show only data relevant to the current user.
+
+To use a user attribute in a filter value, enter one of the following references:
+
+- `${lightdash.user.email}` - The logged-in user's email address
+- `${lightdash.attribute.}` - A custom user attribute value
+
+For example, if you have a chart showing sales data and you want each user to only see their own records, you can add a filter where `sales_rep_email` is equal to `${lightdash.user.email}`. When the chart runs, the filter value will be replaced with the actual email of the logged-in user.
+
+Similarly, you can use custom attributes like `${lightdash.attribute.country}` to filter data based on a user's assigned region or department.
+
+
+ If a user attribute referenced in a filter value is not set for the current user, the query will return a `Forbidden` error.

### Row filtering with `sql_filter`
You can use user attributes to filter the rows returned by a query. This is useful if you want to restrict the data based on the user's attributes. To reference a user attribute in your sql, use the special lightdash reference`${lightdash.attributes. }`. You should use the `IN` operator since the attribute might have multiple values.
