do you wish adding "su" to "xfce" or, adding to os and calling from a
command line while in an 'xfce terminal'?


"switch user" as a "gui" within "xfce", i am not aware of.


"switch user", aka, "substitute user", aka, "super user", aka, "su",
is a default command, available from os, while in a "terminal" window.

it is run by typing at a "command line prompt";

  <su>,<enter>

at keyboard, then entering

  <"root user" password>,<enter>

after which, you are desired user.



from a 'terminal window', read;

  man su     [for terse manual]

or

  info su    [full documentation]


hth.
