- How to change to normal user in the command line when logged in as the root user?
- How to switch between users on one terminal?
I have access to sudo. I tried
[ec2-user@ip-172-99-99-99 Weekly Report]$ sudo su - jenkins

No they don't. From/etc/passwd:ec2-user:x:500:500:EC2 Default User:/home/ec2-user:/bin/bashn jenkins:x:498:497:Jenkins Automation Server:/var/lib/jenkins:/bin/false

From your comment the default shell is set to /bin/false
As the user jenkins you can use chsh to change this permanently.
Alternatively if you don't want to perminantly change it you can just run bash as jenkins with:
sudo -u jenkins /bin/bash -l
