Can you block binary file by using PolKit?

Can you block binary file by using PolKit? For example reboot how can you block it by using Polkit , is there any options to do it by using only Polkit ?

sudo systemctl mask reboot.target might be more effective. However, there are many ways of rebooting a PC^[1] (including pulling the power cord). I’m not sure you can really block them all.

I’m sure PolKit cannot block all reboot methods.
