C++ has no idea of the term 'user'.

But in Linux systems the command 'su' will do the job.
You will need either superuser privilege or the user's password.

I cannot understand your question; please explain the problem more
clearly. Perhaps it would help to be more concrete.

hi got the solution actually i wanted to name a user say my_user to a program or the process which is started by me and later i can kill that process by that user. As @Marcel Mueller pointed out that it has to be done with the superuser and to be done when launching the executable
