any verb on validatingadmissionpolicybindings (synthetic aggregation)

Resource: validatingadmissionpolicybindings

Description

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