if your logged in as root how do u run a program as a standard user

Hi i have a problem

im trying to run an app on my redhat 7.3 machines

im doing it using a control panel

i need to run the app as a standard user, but i can only log into the server using the root account.

and when i use the cosole on the control panel to execute commands, it executes them as root.

if have tried the following:

> su - matt2kjones
> id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

but as you can see, im still root

how can i run commands as another user???

Thanx
