• SynonymユーザーNeutralA loanword meaning user, as in 「ユーザー登録」; it leans toward IT products.
• Synonym使い手つかいてNeutralMeans a user, but also a highly skilled practitioner, as in 「剣の使い手」; it leans toward someone masterful with a technique or skill.

Use 「利用者」 for people who use facilities or services, as in 「図書館の利用者」 and 「利用者数」. For IT products say 「ユーザー」; for the employer side in labor law, 「使用者」. 「提供者」 and 「運営者」 are the counterparts.
