"user" means that anybody can mount it, but only the user that mounted
it can unmount it.  "users" means that anybody can mount and unmount it.

mount(8):

       For more  details,  see  fstab(5).   Only  the  user  that
       mounted  a  filesystem  can unmount it again.  If any user
       should be able to unmount, then use users instead of  user
       in  the  fstab  line.
