Resolution

To create a report using user attribute, you will need to:

1) create the build-in system parameter LoggedInUser in report template JRXML file:

<parameter name="LoggedInUser" class="com.jaspersoft.jasperserver.api.metadata.user.domain.User" isForPrompting="false"/>

2) create user attribute parameter LoggedInUserAttribute_<attribute-name> in report template JRXML file. 

<parameter name="LoggedInUserAttribute_userLocale" class="java.lang.String" isForPrompting="false"/>

3) use LoggedInUserAttribute_<attribute-name> in report query to select records. 

select .......
where l = $P{LoggedInUserAttribute_userLocale} 

4) compile report template in Jaspersoft Studio (JSS) before publishing it to JasperReports Server (JRS)

5) in JRS, create user attribute under Manage - Users web UI set values for each user to influence the report query result.

superuser has userLocale = 'EN'
demo has userLocale = 'FR'
