Well, the old answer would be that you need to use sudo to run it, as
shutting down is a privileged operation.

I suspect that the new answer is that with appropriate
policykit/consolekit/etc settings you can probably allow somebody
sitting at a physical console to shut down the system, or any
logged-in user if you prefer.  However, I haven't actually set that up
myself.
