WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why ImportRepositories needs a policy

Importing repository configurations modifies the backup infrastructure by adding or updating repository definitions, which affects how backups are stored and managed. This is a reversible write operation (configurations can be updated or removed), but has high severity due to potential impact on backup reliability and data protection posture if malicious or incorrect configurations are imported.
