Needs `policies:write`. Targeting is required: send `matchKind`, and `matchActionName` to target one action. The environment is the credential's, never the request's. This scope is privileged and never in the default set: the agent a policy governs must not be able to rewrite it.

`POST /api/v2/approval-policies`
