I don't think this is correct.

Sorry, how so?

Granted, English is only my third language, but my understanding is that generally, an apostrophe in such situations indicates either posession or a contraction.

  • It doesn't look like it indicates posession because there is no noun attached (the user's what?).

  • It doesn't look like a contraction because "user is of" doesn't make sense either here.

Conversely, the plural form works here, and it generally does not involve apostrophes.

Or have I missed something?

You're right, I read the diff backwards. :-)
