If the display manager is automatically configured to display
upon bootup, then any user (check group permissions) should be
able to shutdown the system, from the graphical choices
on the gui of the default  login screen, after loginout from
their session. In fact some graphical environments allow for a 
shutdown in lieu of exiting the login session(s).


Just a thought,
