How "users" are calculated

    Hello,

    I generally use AWSTATS to show me the number of visits and unique visitors.

    In Google Analytics there are sessions and users.
    I understand the sessions. They're kind-of visits, but calculated according to that 30 minute interval (as explained by Google).

    How are users calculated? Are they the same as unique visitors identified through unique IP numbers?
