System Preferences>Users and Groups. CLick the padlock and sign in, then click the plus sign:


User uploaded file

Depending on what you want to do you can make the new account an admin or a standard, or if necessary a parentally controlled one. Remember that an admin account can do anything you can do by way of deleting apps, and adding new ones. Normally you wouldn't let another person be an admin. You will invent a username and a password (this is nothing to do with his Apple ID, he can then use that to sign into iCloud).
