About user properties
Set custom user properties to identify static or slowly changing attributes of your users, such as "spender=true", "profession=engineer", or "favorite_team=Real Madrid". User properties are effectively sticky event parameters that are automatically logged when you call logEvent. After you create and register user-property values, you can use them to create comparisons in your reports. For example, you can see how the game-play habits of spenders differ from non-spenders.
Each Analytics property can have up to 25 uniquely named (case-sensitive) user properties.
Summary table
The summary table lists the user properties that you set in your Analytics tracking code and then register in the Analytics interface.
Set and register a user property
Set
You set user properties in your Analytics tracking code.
