I write this kind of action in the form:

"Write code to ensure that person of type A cannot do action B."
"Write code to ensure that Action C can be done on location X."

Or if there are a whole bunch of interlocking code elements that I don't feel can be easily teased into separate actions, at least not yet, I might have an action like:

"Implement user-level code restrictions. (See Note for privilege matrix.)."

I also rarely have action groups - if Project X has Feature X1, with a dozen or two so actions, I define that as a separate project. That means that I can see that separate project's name in the Project column in Context view.

I use sub-projects every now and then, mostly because a particular project might have a set of actions that must be done in order and another set of actions that can be done in parallel.
