end-users
Those who operate
End-users are the people who actually use a product or service, as distinct from those who develop, sell, or maintain it.
The term appears most often in software and technology contexts: The interface should be intuitive for end-users.
An end-user license agreement (EULA) governs how consumers may use software.
The hyphen is optional; *end users* is equally common.
