## What
Running a stored policy against its **configured sources** (`POST
/api/v1/policies/{id}/trigger`, the manual "run now") now requires the
policy-management role — global admin self-hosted, team leader on SaaS —
alongside the existing team scoping.
## Why
A source sweep operates on the team's configured sources using the
server's stored connection credentials, so it belongs with the other
policy-management capabilities rather than with ordinary use. Team
scoping on its own didn't express that distinction.
## Not changed
- `POST /{id}/run` — running a policy over documents the **caller
supplied** stays open to every team member. That's ordinary editor
enforcement on upload and export, and gating it would break it.
- Ad-hoc pipelines (`/run`, `/run/stream`).
- The scheduled, folder-watch and webhook triggers.
- Single-user deployments (login disabled), which have no roles.
## Implementation
`PolicyManagementAuthority` gains `canTriggerPolicies()`, kept separate
from `canEditPolicies()` so the two capabilities can diverge later. Both
current implementations grant it to the same principals that may edit
policies.
## Tests
- role absent → 403, rejected before any run starts
- role present → 202
- login disabled → check skipped entirely
- `/{id}/run` asserted to consult neither authority method, so the gate
can't quietly extend to the editor path later
