[dba-SQLServer]Who can Stop SQL Server?

That is what I thought.  Maybe something is not right.

For some reason, via EM, the sa user cannot stop the SQL Server service from 
a remote machine (I get an access denied message).

Also, a user that does not belong to server or system admin fixed role can 
stop the SQL Service service via EM if on the same machine.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Billy
