WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why reset-user-password needs a policy

Resetting a password modifies a user's authentication credential. While reversible (the password can be changed again), this action is high severity because it could allow an attacker to lock out legitimate users or gain unauthorized access by setting a known password. It does not delete data, execute code, or move money, so Write is the appropriate category.

From the tool's definition 'Reset or set a new password for a user in a specific realm' — changes a user's credential, which is a reversible write operation (password can be changed again).
