If you want to physically view the $USER object, you can print it out on any view.php (I don't recommend this on a production server!) page or create your own page/script to view print it on.

Use something like:

global $USER;

print_object($USER);

You should get a long list of key-value pairs. You can also do the same with any objects ($CFG, $SESSION, etc.) in Moodle to have a look at them. I only ever do this on a testing server as it exposes sensitive data like your DB password.
