even so, it’s stupid, you need to apply an update?, shutdown the pc in your work when you’re in your home?, you are being idk hacked and need to shutdown everything?
It’s simple: if you’re a person that’s supposed to be shutting down that computer, you’ll be able to. If you’re encountering the message, you’re using the wrong account, or you’re the wrong person to be doing that. Switch accounts, or call up the right person.
Non-privileged users of such systems shouldn’t care about updates or whatnot. They’re there to do their work not mess with the system managed by someone else.
I’m pretty sure that’s a message you’d see on a remote desktop, or Kiosk. Both situations where you don’t usually have access to the power cord either

make sense
Non-privileged users of such systems shouldn’t care about updates or whatnot. They’re there to do their work not mess with the system managed by someone else.
Then you su to a privileged account, or something.
Allowing a random passerby to access the update settings of the kiosk computer is a lot more stupid, and also insecure.
