Yes. Admin can disable the employee rights manually however it is not recommended.
Ideally, employees and managers are informed to apply/review leaves on or before 31 Dec (if Jan-Dec leave year is followed) and 31 Mar (if Apr-Mar leave year is followed).
If you would like to restrict the employees from applying leave for a certain period, navigate to Leave > Admin > Lock Configuration > Add Lock Configuration. Select the required Category Type, From Date, To Date, Effective Date, and click Save to remove the access of employees from applying leave.
