Apple ID on different devices

So we are looking into getting an IMac and we both have different Apple ID’s and I’m wandering if you can sign in on a IMac with different iD’s so we don’t share . As we both have different things on our accounts ..

thanks

The computer will come with one admin user account. To keep your data separate, create a 2nd user account so you each have your own account. If you make the 2nd user account an admin account, that also gives you another admin account to boot into for troubleshooting.
