How to setup MDM for shared workstations when not all users have MS 365 Business Premium subscriptions?

Hello I've a question but first I've to say I've not yet much experience with MS 365 Business.

So, my questions is for a SMB with shops in 3 locations and an office for Customer Care, HR, Administration and so.

Basically there are some users sitting in front of the very same PC every day but others (in shop and warehouse) share the PC and they do their tasks without a PC most of the time.

So, my idea is to provide the users in the office with Business Premium subscription and the others with a Business Basic (ideally they will use MS Teams for coordination and Outlook via web for few company communication). So, here my question:
- How can I have visibility a manage those shared machines when nobody in the shop will have a Business Premium subscription?
- Is it possible assign all these share machine to an admin account with Business Premium subscription and let the other people accessing as guests?

Thanks for your help!

@MarcoFaccin-1289 Thanks for posting in the Q&A.

To clarify this requirement, we appreciate your help to tell us if there is intune in your environment. If not, we find the issue is more related to Microsoft 365. We suggest to post in Microsoft 365 support in the following link. Thanks!

Hello and thanks for the answer.
No the environment does not have Intune and I'm asking because I'm trying to think which option is best for my case and if there is the need to deploy Intune for the shared PCs.
In the meantime I will ask my question also in MS 365 support.
Thanks!

If you want to manage the devices, then yes, you need to enable and configure Intune.

As for licensing, the standard licensing model for Intune is per-user so for shared devices where some users won't be licensed, you'll need to acquire per-device licensing: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/intune/device-licenses-introduction
