What if the user has to assume a role to have the privileges to shutdown?
They'll still have to pfexec shutdown and not use this dialog?

Sun Ray isn't a distribution - it runs on normal Solaris, and may be running
on the same system that has a normal console - does this configuration allow
the console user to shut down but the Sun Ray or remote desktop (XDMCP or VNC)
users to not shut down?
