How to identify users that have su'ed to a different account?

Hello and thanks in advance for anyone that can offer me any help with this!

I'm trying to figure out a quick & easy way to see a list of everyone's effective user id... I would have thought 'w' or 'who' would be able to display if someone had switched user accounts... but it's only showing the real user ID they logged in with.

Once against... thanks for any help!

PAM_LOCALUSER(8)						 Linux-PAM Manual						  PAM_LOCALUSER(8)

NAME
pam_localuser - require users to be listed in /etc/passwd SYNOPSIS
pam_localuser.so [debug] [file=/path/passwd] DESCRIPTION
pam_localuser is a PAM module to help implementing site-wide login policies, where they typically include a subset of the network's users and a few accounts that are local to a particular workstation. Using pam_localuser and pam_wheel or pam_listfile is an effective way to restrict access to either local users and/or a subset of the network's users. This could also be implemented using pam_listfile.so and a very short awk script invoked by cron, but it's common enough to have been separated out. OPTIONS
debug Print debug information. file=/path/passwd Use a file other than /etc/passwd. MODULE TYPES PROVIDED
All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided. RETURN VALUES
PAM_SUCCESS The new localuser was set successfully. PAM_SERVICE_ERR No username was given. PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User not known. EXAMPLES
Add the following line to /etc/pam.d/su to allow only local users in group wheel to use su. account sufficient pam_localuser.so account required pam_wheel.so FILES
/etc/passwd Local user account information. SEE ALSO
