Can I use sidecar on my families iPad Pro 11 signed in with a different appleid ?

Is there a way to use sidecar feature when the ipad is signed in under a differet appleid ? I suspect the answer is no, but it's really dissapointing to think that Apple everyone in a household to have their own ipad. I'm hoping there is a quick hack that allows it to be done without singing in as someone else each time.

Thanks
