You can use this extension to hide the shutdown button.
This article describes how to disable shutdown and reboot:
Certain Linux distros such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Mandriva just to
mention but a few, make it possible to reboot/halt/shutdown the system
as a normal user, by default. This is not ideal setting especially on
servers, it must be something to worry about especially for a system
administrator.
Here are a summary of steps in article:
- Edit
/etc/sudoersto disable shutdown. - Use
chmod o-x /sbin/shutdownandchmod o-x /sbin/rebootto deny permissions. - For systemd based systems (probably most today) use:
chmod o-x /bin/systemctlwhich/sbin/shutdownand the rest have symbolic links to.
I don’t know how to change the GUI to remove the “Shutdown” button but you can tell the users not to press it and if they do nothing will happen.
