any verb on mutatingadmissionpolicies (synthetic aggregation)

Resource: mutatingadmissionpolicies

Description

Synthetic aggregation for rules that filter the mutatingadmissionpolicies resource with no specific verb. Not a distinct audit record; hosts rule listings that key on objectRef.resource alone.
