After executing su with the account name to which the user wants to change as argument, he must enter the password of the particular account to get privileged access.

Checking identity and connected users

The who command displays who is logged in or gives more detailed information about users and process states. Depending on the execution mode, the command displays varying information. In administrator execu- tion mode, the command output is more detailed and shows information about the ID, user name, state, idle time, and location. In operator execution mode, only the user name being used at the moment is reported, which helps checking the identity.
