SUDO AIX

I commonly use an alias in the user's profile:

.cshrc:
alias so sudo -u root su - oracle
alias sy sudo -u root su - sybase

the user types "so" (for switch oracle) to switch up to a locked,
anonymous user called oracle, or sybase -- such that the user "oracle" or
"sybase" can run all its functions, but no one can log in under that name.
Anyone switching to that name is logged.
