From memory (and it's not that great) but I seem to
remember having a similar issue and I "think" I fixed it by
editing the /etc/sudoers file , don't have my book of useful
commands to hand but a quick Google and I came up with
%users ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot

Not sure if still relevant on the latest versions of Ubuntu, sorry

We have a multi user machine - the kids keep leaving themselves logged

cant if anyone else is still logged in.
Anyone know what group she needs to be added to to power down?

It seems its not that simple ( I dont want the kids to be able to
shutdown) I think I'm going to have to create a group and then
modify sudoers. Surprised it isn’t part of the 'system'.
Never quite sure whether they've given up on the 'standard' groups
so and and just expect you to use something more advanced...
