Hi Lisi!
Hi Nik :-) And thanks for the helpful
and prompt reply.
The easy way:
Add this line to /etc/sudoers:
%users ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/poweroff
You might want to change change "%users" to the name of the user. Otherwise
anybody in the "users"-group is allowed to do power off.
Thanks. In this case I want everyone to be able to shut it down!!
Now crate a Shortcut on the Desktop that executes
"sudo /sbin/poweroff"
You inspired me to Google again (I didn't know how to do this bit!!!) and I
had an entirely relevant Raspberry P hit. Thanks, Nik!

Test ... but be aware, that the session is not saved!
