I have created a service, written a code grabbing the names of the users in the AngularJS controller and am calling it in the view but i dont see anything :/ am i doing something incorrectly? new to angularJS btw.
this is the revised angular controller
Official way of generating options in AngularJS:
<select ng-model="mySelection" ng-options="user.value as user.userName for user in allUsers">
<option value=""></option>
</select>
Also, you are setting ng-model to be the same as the thing being looped, hence you're seeing nothing.
ng-model will be the variable which will save your selection from allUsers.
allUsers while ng-model should have a different variable, like selectedUser

You need to use ng-options directive to generate <option> elements. ng-model directive is used to specify model property to store selected option.
Example from official documentation:
<select ng-options="item as item.label for item in items track by item.id" ng-model="selected"></select>
You can read more here: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngOptions
