How to just change which iCloud account is used on my Mac

This is a Mac Mini used at my work by my employee. Currently the iCloud account associated with this computer is one of mine. But I would like to assign it to another iCloud account I will create for this employee. I do not want anything else to change on the current setup, Apple mail, installed apps, calendar, etc.


Do I just have her sign out of iCloud and sign in to the new iCloud account?

Mac mini 2018 or later
