"Self Service Permissions" and "Delegation" should eventually become 
special cases of permissions, so I'd recommend listing the RBAC 
components here:

Role Based Access Control (5)
- Permissions
- Privileges
- Roles
- Self Service Permissions
- Delegation

Either on the first level, or below Policy.

Or merge Infrastructure and Configuration into Server?
