Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2017-11-13 19:32:57 UTC 
An admin can disable the power off button with polkit policy.

For instance,

[Disallow shutdown]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.power-off*;org.freedesktop.login1.reboot*;org.freedesktop.login1.suspend*;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate*;
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=no

If done, gnome-shell will throw an exception every time a user clicks on
the system menu.

This commit fixes the exception.

Comment 2 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:12:28 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
