Automember is about grouping both users and hosts. I put it under Policy 
originally as it basically is a policy, when are certain users/hosts automember'ed.

I would personally not merge Users and Hosts top level menus to one top level 
menu as that would spoil the whole reason why this effort is done, i.e. have at 
most 7 items in the second level bar to make things clearer.

To me, it seemed a good idea to split Users and Hosts to achieve the target as 
it separates well the intent what one wants to do. Now we have it all under 
Identity (including DNS and Realm Domains) which is messy.

But I am pretty open to counter-proposals which keeps the UX requirement of 7 
second level items.
