Most reports in GA consist of dimensions and metrics. Dimensions are slices of data by which quantitative metrics are aggregated, such as a report on traffic sources.
Traffic source is a parameter, sessions are an indicator. The total number of sessions for a certain period of time is calculated by traffic sources.

Users
Conventionally, users are the number of unique people who visited the site over a certain period. To be more precise, users are the number of browsers from which users visited the site. If, for example, the same person first came from one browser, and then from another, then for GA these will be 2 different users.
