    iPad Air Multiple accounts on shared iPad

    Our family has one iPad that we share amongst us. Is it possible to have the iPad signed in to one iCloud account, but then have Photos, Messages, Mail, etc. signed in to another iCloud user? In other words, can I pick and choose which iCloud service is being used by which iCloud account?
