Doesn't SASL only provide an authentication (aka authN) layer? I'm
looking for an authorization (aka authZ) layer. I'm using client SSL
certs for authN.

I am happy to provide the user to domain map outside of libvirt. I
mainly want libvirt to provide a way to enforce such relationships, and
limit the management features for TLS/TCP connections.

Again this appears to focus on authN (with the exception of PolicyKit
which provides both). I'm not sure PolicyKit will work with TLS/TCP
connections since it appears to target unix sockets only (ie local users).
