You did not list the error message so I will take a chance at being wrong. I believe that whatever error you are getting may be related to the trigger code effectively running as the table owner so try using the psuedo column 'user' instead of selecting from user_users and see if this eliminates the error. Otherwise please post the actual error messages along with the trigger code.
