Calling sso-login-embed-url endpoint, via SDK, is creating new user every-time

[sasansoroushdev]

Hi

We are calling sso-login-embed-url endpoint, via SDK
Although we are sending external_user_id, looker is creating a new user on each request. Please kindly take a look.

const response = await this.lookerSDK.create_sso_embed_url({
      target_url: targetURL,
      session_length: this.LOOKER_EMBED_SESSION_LENGTH,
      force_logout_login: true,
      external_user_id: userId,
      group_ids: [EMBED_USER_GROUP_ID],
      user_attributes: {
        access_org_id: orgId,
        user_theme: theme,
        ...(nosUserId && { nos_user_id: nosUserId }),
      },
    });```

Hey @sasansoroushdev , we've done some testing and cannot repro this issue.

Our investigation suggests what may be happening is that if you do not provide a user first or last name, Looker will generate a user with the first name 'Embed' and the last name 'User'. This would mean every embed user created this way has the same name, which is likely what you are seeing.

We recommend that you generate a unique first and last name for each user, perhaps using the external_user_id in one or both of those fields.

Given that we cannot reproduce the issue and have a likely cause and workaround, we are closing this ticket for now.
