How would the terminal multiplexer even affect this? Don't you just sudo or su to switch user?

Login as user A. Want to execute multiple commands. With multiplexer: open multiplexer while logged in as user A, create multiple panes. Without multiplexer: open a pane in terminal emulator, login as user A, execute one command, repeat for every command.
