$ uname -a
Linux msi 5.8.14-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed, 07 Oct 2020 23:59:46 +0000 x86_64 GN>

so I do a console login as a regular user, type reboot and it works. shutdown now as well.

Why am I not required to be root to do that like on debian?

    Why are using [tag:arch-linux] but asking about Debian? – Arkadiusz Drabczyk Oct 12 '20 at 10:37

    He's not asking about Debian, he claims that you need to be root on Debian which is incorrect. – Oskar Skog Oct 12 '20 at 13:37
  • It is weird to me to be able to terminate every users' sessions without privileges. Alas, this is the answer: "logind is asked to perform the action, using polkit actions org.freedesktop.login1.*" – Vorac Oct 13 '20 at 06:36
