In this horrible video i will demonstrate how one can in Openuse take control of the powerstate of a machine just by using the systemctl command. There is no need to gain elevated privileges.

Edit: I got some clairfication on why this is from a well known and trusted source.

"This is intentional. In the "easy" workstation permissions, locally logged in users CAN shut down the machines. Remote users cannot. Same for the server permissions profile."
