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. This restriction, intended to prevent account abuse, cannot be bypassed.
Unless you fully understand and accept the implications, you would be well advised to reconsider sharing your iPad with another user. So as to avoid issues, you would be well advised to each have your own iPad - with which to solely use with your own AppleID/iCloud account.
