Hello,
Is there a simple way to add custom attribute to users and access them from a process?
e.1. we would like to add age attribute to user and use this value in a gateway condition.
e.2. add number of days a user was absent and be able to access and change this value from a process.
Thanks.

is this the way to do it?
[https://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html#\_list\_a\_user\_s\_info](https://www.flowable.org/docs/userguide/index.html#_list_a_user_s_info)
is it only available through rest API?
and how can we access such info it from a process?
