Prodigious is an adjective.
Prodigious means extraordinary in aspect, such as size or degree. Tremendous and stupendous are two words related to prodigious. "I was overwhelmed at work with the prodigious amount of filing that needed to get done."
You can use "prodigious" to describe a large or impressive quantity, so it is appropriate to say "prodigious number of users." This phrase emphasizes the remarkable scale of the user base. Saying "prodigious users" is less common and could imply that the users themselves possess extraordinary qualities, which may not be the intended meaning.
The root of "prodigious" is the Latin word "prodigiosus," meaning extraordinary or wonderful.
