  Privileges to restart a system are for restarting a system. On Windows servers, this would be nearly any time anything is installed. If they need to restore corrupted VMs, then the privilege to do so is also self-explanatory.
  
  If they don’t need to do something, then they don’t need the privilege. So, do these web admins need to be able to start or shutdown a server? As a system admin, don’t you know why servers might need to be rebooted?
