Emacs Tramp - How to edit files using Tramp as another user in a remote host?

Question

I have only one user (say "goodk") that can accept SSH connections. So, I am not able to use Tramp to edit files which are accessible to other users than the one that accepts SSH connection. How can I achieve this?

How I do this currently:

I use terminal. From terminal I login to user "goodk". Then I switch user using su or sudo.

But how will any of this help the user that owns the file does not allow ssh and the file is not accessible by other users?

To the remote server the files are being read/written by the user that connects via ssh. If the files to be modified are owned by a different user then they will need to be readable/writable by the ssh user.
