I know the easiest way is to ssh using an existing account into target and add the public key of another user account into .ssh/authorized_keys. Is it possible to do this using ssh-copy-id? Specifically, how to ssh-copy-id into another machine using the private key of an existing user who is allowed to ssh into that machine?
