Phone and MacBook have different Apple IDs. Can I put my phone in my computer's Find My so I can use my computer to find my phone?

Would love to use my phone to find my computer as well but not as needed. Thanks.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.5

You may be able to add the other ID as a friend an let its location be shared to the first ID. I haven't tried seeing if it will give me full access to Find My such as locking. It may not. However, you could set up a separate user account on the computer and set that to the other ID, just the way you would if you had a shared family computer with multiple separate accounts. That should give you full Find My access as far as it goes on a computer.
