If you want to execute a command under a different login, you can use sudo to do so. For instance, if you have the following line in your /etc/sudoers:

myuser ALL=(user) ls /secret NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/make install

then, you can execute the following lines:

$ sudo -u user ls /secret
Password: .......
# Contents of /secret shown
$ sudo -u user make install
# Make install runs
$ echo password | sudo -S -u user ls /secret
# Contents of /secret shown without password prompt
