have you tried this?

 | transaction user | table user, src, dest, LogonType | ...

and if you don't want events with no dest,
you should add

dest=*

to your search query.

Thank you pradeep for your response.

But this search does not give the expected result. I do not want values(user) . I want unique value of User.
