type visudo logged as root, and write these lines

user ALL=(root) NOPASSWD:/usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper

where user means your account, which do you want to allow to shutdown computer..
REMARK: xfsm-shutdown-helper is in /usr/sbin only in Debian distro.. if you have another distro, you need to
replace /usr/sbin/xfsm-shutdown-helper to /usr/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper

You need something like this:

%users ALL = NOPASSWD:/libexec/xfsm-shutdown-helper

Use visudo for adding the sudo rule.

# Members of the admin group may gain root privileges
%admin ALL= NOPASSWD: ALL

gives privileges to all in admin group. Just an example.
