Hello! Halt on Linux is disabled for average user by default. It will try to request sudo/root password and if fails returns:

sasha@fedora:~$ systemctl halt
Call to Halt failed: Access denied

How can I make same behavior for poweroff action? I know it is possible somehow via PolicyKit rulle

    What if you try another interface, like shutdown -P now or poweroff -p?

      They all operates some way through systemd, so if operation is disabled via policy you cannot bypass it.

      sasha@fedora:~$ /sbin/halt
Call to Halt failed: Interactive authentication required.
