Improve adding groups to "Volumes" and "Database" policies

We hit the "max_metrics_reached" on one of our tenants on an agent and we had to reach out to support (TSo17688362) for assistance. Support requested a metric limit increase, which removed the message and allowed the agent to capture more metrics ...

Breakout list of user-defined policies into entity type to match the list provided in the group management UI
