This module shows a list of the real names of users who are logged in. If users are allowed to send messages to each other, then an icon appears next to each name that can be clicked to compose a message to that user (see Inter-User Messages regarding the messaging feature). Clicking on or mousing over the user name brings up information about the user as set up in User Preferences.

Below are a couple of screenshots:
