How to switch remote user in Capistrano

In capistrano, I can set the :user variable to determine which user is logged to ssh, when executing remote commands. But I'd like to execute commands as different users depending on task. Is it possible? Something like run "command", :as => "bob" would be nice.

The docs: https://github.com/capistrano/capistrano/wiki/2.x-DSL-Action-Invocation-Run

You could use combination of :shell and &block:

run "echo am i bob ? :$USER:", :shell => "su - bob -s bash" do |channel, stream, data|
  channel.send_data("#{bob_password}\n")
end
