Defining User_Alias HIPAA_ACTOR makes the existing rule HIPAA_ACTOR ALL = (ALL) ALL (later in this file) become effective, which grants {{ cchq_user }} full sudo access (any command as any runas user). If the intent is only to allow the limited HQCOMMANDS set, consider narrowing/removing the broad (ALL) ALL rule, or add an explicit comment here explaining why full sudo is required for the HIPAA actor to avoid accidental over-privileging in the future.
