How to interact with existing dbus session through sudo?

[Louise Baldwin]

 Why not?

I need to be able to run tasks consecutively for two different users (root and Louise). How do you suggest this be accomplished if it's "impossible" to use sudo with dbus?

One user cannot connect to another user's session bus. That's why you should 
not do it: because it doesn't work.

Redesign your solution.
