FortiOS 5.2.x , in contrary to 5.0.x or 4.3 do not use sub-policy levels for identity based policies.

It simply has users and groups as part of base match pattern aside to source/destination IP, Service etc. See GUI of the policy and "Source user(s)" selection box right within source identification.

I'd suggest to check FortiOS 5.2 Release Notes and What's new guide to get idea of auth differences between 5.0 and 5.2 style as the differ a lot.
