I would think you would just authenticate as an administrator (or a user
in an administrator group). That would apply even for tools users built for
themselves.


Agreed, but to clarify, that doesn't get you a policy for "operator
tools".  It get's you the default policy or a specific vhost policy.

What is the purpose of having different policies (given that a policy itself allows different permissions for different user groups)?

I can only see any value in them if virtual hosts imply a different address space and/or user base.

And it's worth asking perhaps whether users defined in the default policy
are available under a vhost-bound connection.  I'm guessing no.  That could
be a stumbling point.

I'm not sure what you mean.
