How to configure policykit to disable shutdown only if another user is logged in

Asked by Jeffrey Ratcliffe

I am trying to configure policykit to disable shutdown only if another user is logged in.

I have the file: /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/disable-shutdown.pkla with the following contents:

[Disable Shutdown, etc.]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions;org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions
ResultAny=no
ResultInactive=no
ResultActive=no

Here, any user can log in, work, and shutdown. If the user simply logs out, and another logs in, then no user can shutdown (without invoking sudo).

If I change the above ResultActive to "yes", then any user can shutdown, even if another is logged in, i.e. the second user logs in via switch user.

How can I configure things so that any shutdown is only disabled if another user is logged in?
