I believe authuser is used. From man page:


You may authenticate as one user (typically an admin user), but be 
authorized as someone else, which means you don’t need to know every 
user’s personal password.  Specify
        --authuser1 "adminuser" to enable this on host1.  In this case, 
--authmech1 PLAIN will be used by default since it is the only way to go 
for now. So don’t use --authmech1
        SOMETHING with --authuser1 "adminuser", it will not work.  Same 
behavior with the --authuser2 option.
