Unlike other computers with which you may be familiar, that support multiple user profiles - other than “managed” educational environments, OS/iPadOS devices are not intended to be shared.
Be aware that if you sign-out of iCloud and other Apple services - and allow another user to sign-in - you’ll not be able to change back for 90-days.
So as to prevent account abuse, some critical Apple services will only allow one change of signed-in AppleID (on a device) in a 90-day period.
In conclusion, unless you fully understand and accept the implications, you would be well advised to reconsider any attempt to share your iPad with another user.

At the moment it is not possible to have more than one user on an iPad at a time. This means that it is not possible to have two people have two different login accounts (Apple IDs) on a single iPad.
You don't, sorry.
Only 1 Apple ID is supported in one device.
