You cannot do that with 'su'.  You can do it with "sudo".  Add a line
like this to the sudoers file:

user1 ALL=(user2)NOPASSWD: ALL

Then user1 can run a command as user2 by typing:

sudo -u user2 command args ...

For a shell as user2 the command would be:

sudo -u user2 -i

See "man sudoers" for all the gory details.
