User

In telecommunication, the term user has the following meanings:
  • A person or process accessing an AIS by direct connections (e.g., via terminals) or indirect connections.
    • "Indirect connection" relates to persons who prepare input data or receive output that is not reviewed for content or classification by a responsible individual.

In Wikimedia Projects (including wikipedia) you can access a user's page, pressing in the link that appears in the user's signature.
User is also a common term for someone who takes drugs, especially illegal ones. When spoken with a particular affect in certain hacker contexts, the meaning is not unlike the immediately above use of user. See the jargon file definition of user.
