Hi  Ananthavalli, 

User and Internal User  both are same in Salesforce:  They are within the Organization like Sales Representatives 
External User: They are Associated with the Company but not belong to the same company.   External users are suppliers, banks, customers,                                 investors, potential investors
                         Example:  Persons using accounting information who are not directly involved in running the organization.
                           
Customer : The Organization/ person who buys the product of the company.

Let me know if you have any queries.

Thanks,
Murali

Hi Ananthavalli Kulathooran,

User :- A user is anyone who logs in to Salesforce. Users are employees at your company, such as sales reps, managers, and IT specialists, who need access to the company's records. Every user in Salesforce has a user account.

Internal users - are users within the organization, as employees of the company. User and Internal User  both are same in Salesforce

External User: They are Associated with the Company but not belong to the same company.   External users are suppliers, banks, customers, investors, potential investors

Customer: are the Organization/person who buys the product of the company.
