That link is about allowing only root to shut off the system. But it is
certainly not desirable to require that a system administrator comes by
whenever a user wants to shut off the computer. In the normal case, the
user should of course be able to shut off. Just not when there are other
sessions, such as a root login on virtual terminal 1, emerging
openoffice since over a day.
