The URL parameter page is there for old-fashioned URLs with query strings attached.
For example: http://www.example.com/index.php?A=1&B=2

@user1775888 Well, it's not necessarily any better (or worse) for "google crawler", but it does mean you can use the tool in Google Search Console (aka GWT) to control how Google interprets URL parameters.– MrWhiteMay 22, 2015 at 21:40
To be eligible for this feature, the URL parameters must be configured in key/value pairs like item=swedish-fish or category=gummy-candy in the URL http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish&category=gummy-candy.

Your URLs in form of http://example.com/user/:username will already be crawled. Here :username is the parameter judged by your JS MVC framework (Angular, Vue or otherwise) in its Route configuration. The URL parameters are made of a key and a value separated by an equals sign (=) and joined by an ampersand (&).
The URL parameter section in Webmaster console lets you control how to interpret indexed pages with the above mentioned URL parameters.
Suppose you were having a product page as well with its URL being http://example.com/product?pid=143&pbrand=nike and another similar one as http://example.com/product?pid=143&pbrand=nike&sessionId=110029021. In this case, the parameter keys like pid and pbrand are supposed to be active parameters.
Active parameters can change page content
On the other hand, sessionId is more likely to be a passive parameter.
Passive URL parameters have no affect on how content appears to the user; they are often used to track visits and referrers.
