For the interested reader, see
/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy
org.freedesktop.login1.power-off has the following defaults
<defaults>
<allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive>
<allow_active>yes</allow_active>
</defaults>
As has already been mentioned, active, local users can shutdown/reboot
the system without requiring a password. This is intended behaviour (for
the reasons already mentioned) and can indeed be overridden by custom
polkit rules.
