Changing User on Remote Machine

My problem: On my remote host I have my personal user and users that can only edit specific projects. Only my personal user is configured to be accessible directly with SSH. Usually, when I have to work on source code directly on the machine, I connect via SSH, change my user to the project user and edit the code with VIM. It seems that this workflow is currently not possible with this extension. Is it possible to change the user after connecting? So I can connect with my personal account, switch user to the one I want (which has no SSH keys but has the permissions to edit certain files) and open the files as that user.
