Abstract
A method for requiring justifications for predetermined user operations may include maintaining a plurality of policies in a policy store, and detecting a user operation, via a policy module, that triggers a policy of the plurality of policies. The method may also include pausing user operation, notifying the user of the impact of the user operation that triggered the policy, and requesting justification from the user for the user operation. The method may further include storing user-provided justification in a predetermined location, and then resuming the user operation.
