Main difference between session and user scope custom dimension in google analytics

I am understanding the use of user and session scope custom dimension. But still not getting the main difference between them. Both are maintaining the values of dimensions in their sessions.Then what's the major difference between them. Any clear example for this?

Like you've understood, session scoped custom dimensions persists throughout the session. But user-scoped custom dimensions persists with the user. A user can have multiple sessions and the user-scoped custom dimension will be set for those sessions as well without purposely setting them with code. It will only be gone if the GA cookie is erased or something overwrites it.
