Bug Description
I'm responsible for several Machines with Ubuntu 14.04. The Users do not have the permission to shutdown/reboot if other users are logged in (ssh sessions included).
I'm using policys for org.freedesktop
This is working fine, but the users get no notification about the situation:
1) If the user is logged in, he can click on shutdown but he gets just the option to log out. This is nice, but not perfect, a message about the reason would be good.
2) If the user is not logged in, he can click on shutdown but he gets no options. Just a small window with "Are you sure you want to shut down the computer?". There are no buttons and it's looking like a bug.
The 2nd case is really bad for me. Typical situation: one user is working remote on the computer, then a windows user comes into the laboratory. The computer seems on but free and the windows user wants to reboot to boot windows. Some windows users find a hard way to reboot!
