Auto transfer all aliases from one profile to another

Hi,

I login to Linux and Solaris server using my personal user account "ms1104" .

I have several aliases set in my profile.

Later i need to switch to another user account i.e. "wlsuser" and below is the command i use

Code:

sudo -u wlsuser -s -H

i do not have authority to modify the profile for wlsuser account.

I wish to carry all my aliases from "ms1104" to "wlsuser" and all the aliases should work after switching to account "wlsuser"
