WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why whm_unsuspend_account needs a policy

This tool modifies the state of a cPanel account by reactivating it from suspension. This is a reversible write operation (an account can be re-suspended), but the blast radius is high because unsuspending an account restores full access to potentially malicious or abusive accounts, could re-enable services that were deliberately suspended, and affects server security posture.
