Who are these "users" (subscribers? admins?) and why do you want to
associate styles with users?  Please use more descriptive terms unless
you really need to describe something generic.  But here IIRC the
styles are for lists, and therefore the relevant users are list
admins.  However, why would a style be associated with a list admin?
The same admin might have announce lists and discussion lists as well
as anonymous lists, and so on.
