Hi

If you want to force a logoff/shutdown when the time is up,
you will need 3rd party software for this, e.g. the program
"1st Security Center" is able to do that:

The powerful feature "User Working Time" allows you to limit working
time for your children , office colleagues , students and so on. You
can define several time intervals and time durations to manage users
working time very easy.

The application in the link below is a lot more limited, but it can
e.g. force a logoff/shutdown at a set time or after a time duration
(but it looks like this is computer based and not user based):
