User was an ancient Egyptian nomarch (governor) of the Eighth Dynasty. User is mainly known from a false door found at Khozam in 1884. The monument is about one meter high and is made of greywacke. It is today in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Here, User bears a long string of important titles, such as Father of the god, beloved of the god, Overseer of Upper Egypt, overseer of the desert lands and overlord of the Coptite nome. The latter title is the main title for nomarchs in the late Old Kingdom and First Intermediate Period. Furthermore, he was overseer of priests and overseer of the Eastern and Western Deserts. The most unusual title for a nomarch is king's eldest son of his body.
