Login use one user and act as another user.

Hello, here is an new request.
Image this situation:
Connect the remote host through a general user,which has only little privilege, and then elevate its privilege to a super user,let us say root. We need to do the work under the root user.
So, in VS Code, how can I make it? Becuase there is a situation where we can only use the general user to connect to the remote host.
Looking for the reply,thanks so much.
More info:
Login the remote host through a general user,but then need to switch to root(in the VS Code User Interface,not the VS Code Terminal),the files are down root home directory.Just like below:
