Description
Notice that right now we use "User Profiles" and "Attributes" changeably. (e.g. look at our doc)
I believe the confusion comes from:
* On Admin Portal or when explain to end users, it is easier to use the term "User Profiles"
* However, in Admin API or user data, we called it `standardAttributes` or `customAttributes`
Assigned it to @fungc-io first, as I believe this issue need some discussion before deciding the next step.
I think it would be better if we:
* Always call it User Profiles, in documentation and in our APIs
* Except when the use case is OIDC, and **\*\*IF OIDC DOES USE THE TERM ATTRIBUTES\*\*,** than we use attributes whenever it is OIDC specific.
Thoughts? @louischan @fungc-io
