If they are owned by you, sign into them using your Apple account information.


If they are owned by others, invite them to Family sharing and make sure you have a family level subscription to iCloud.


Click on this link to learn how to set up Family Sharing --> Set up Family Sharing - Apple Support

Read the section: "Invite people to join your family"

and at the very bottom:

"Remember, you can only join one family at a time, and you can only switch to a different family group once per year."


After you send the invitation, you can check its status under the person's name in Settings > iCloud > Family on your iOS device. On your Mac, go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, and select Manage Family. Then select that person's name to see the status of the invitation.


If you need to resend the invitation, select Resend Invitation."
