Getting into iCloud without giving Apple ID info?

Hi All - I'm going to help a client organize their photos on iCloud, but they're hesitant to give their Apple ID info so I can dial in. Is there any way to set up a temporary account/user so I can reach their images in iCloud w/o needing their Apple ID login info?


I'm thinking I'll have them sign in and then I remote manage their desktop to do my organizing?


I feel like I'm missing some other way to do this.

A smart account holder should never give account info , the Apple ID account credentials are secretes and should never be revealed Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support

They ( your client ) can organise photos on iCloud by setting up photo library from Mac Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support and its preferences Change preferences in Photos on Mac - Apple Support

Designate a System Photo Library in Photos - Apple Support

Organise photos and videos in albums on iCloud.com - Apple Support

Note : never use remote sharing with others unless it's necessary .
