WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why docs_move_document needs a policy

Moving a document repositions it within a hierarchy but does not delete or irreversibly destroy data. It is a reversible structural change (the document can be moved back), placing it in the Write category. Misuse could disorganize document trees or make documents hard to find, hence medium severity.
