Don't typedef struct's, unless you have a *good* reason for doing it.
Saving a few keystrokes in declarations doesn't count as a good reason.
All you can achieve with gratuitous typedef's is render the code less
readable.

You need to learn how to declare things in C. Your initialiser is OK,
your declaration isn't. You're declaring an array of pointers to user,
NOT an array of user.
