Is there a way to log in with another user, as I have restricted access for user "root" for security reasons?
Hello @Michael Jung,
This feature is yet to be implemented in SSH Terminal extension. Please vote for this functionality:

The top-ranked suggestions are likely to be included in the next versions of SSH Terminal extension.
