end-user

    The person who uses a computer application, as opposed
   to those who developed or support it.  The end-user may or may
   not know anything about computers, how they work, or what to
   do if something goes wrong.  End-users do not usually have
   administrative responsibilities or privileges.

   End users are certain to have a different set of assumptions
   than the developers who created the application.
