Create this:
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/00-no-reboot-password.rules # or similar name

/* Allow shutdown when others are logged in  */
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id ==
"org.freedesktop.login1.power-off-multiple-sessions" ||
        action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.reboot-multiple-sessions")
{
        return polkit.Result.YES;
    }
});
