$user =&JFactory::getUser();  
if($user->id) {    
    //do user logged in stuff    
}    
else {    
    //do user not logged in stuff    
}

To get object of current login user 

$user = JFactory::getUser();
if(!$user->id){
  // no user is logged in
}
else{
  // logged in user
}

To get names of all users

$db = JFactory::getDBO();
$sql = "SELECT * FROM #__users";
$db->setQuery($sql);
$users = $db->loadObjectList();

foreach($users as $user){
  echo $user->name;
}

or if you want to use user object, after above query

foreach($users as $user){
   $userObj = JFactory::getUser($user->id);
}

If you want to access the current user object you can find the details in here :

Accessing the current user object - Joomla documentation

If you want to list all the users I would recommend you check the extension called Community Builder, there's a plugin that list all the current website users for it
