WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why DisableProtectionGroup needs a policy

This tool modifies the operational state of a protection group by disabling it, which is a Write operation (reversible change to system configuration). It is severe (high) because disabling protection groups halts backup operations, leaving systems unprotected and potentially exposing them to data loss if failure occurs during the disabled period.

From the tool's definition DisableProtectionGroup disables a protection group—a reversible configuration change that modifies the active state of backup protection without deleting underlying data or infrastructure.
