Alter another user's crontab tasks

Question

Similar to this question, I would like to alter a user's crontab file as root. I'm able to view the crons, but unable to alter or edit them. To view them, I use the following:

sudo crontab -l -u <user>

If you have root you could always sudo su <user> and use cron normally. — Centimane, Sep 21 '16 at 13:17
