Ah, you're looking for the user rights assignment! You can edit that in the
group policy editor (Start/Run: GPEDIT.MSC [ENTER])
Expand Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local
Policies.
"Shutdown the System" is one of the options under, User Rights Assignment
(towards the bottom) - just add whatever users you want to it.
