I am currently preparing use case descriptions for a software specification. For most use cases, I have several actors who can perform the use case. But some basic flow steps of a use case are only available to one of the specified actors.

Example For example, I have an "Edit task" use case. Normal users can edit the task information or mark the task as done. Admin users can additionally archive the task.

I have so far specified this through the business rule for that basic flow step, so: Basic Flow Step: "The user archives the task." with corresponding business rule "Only Admins".

Can I use one use case description for both actors and just differentiate singular functions / basic flow steps like described above? Or do I need an extra use case for each function, as minor as it might be, to differentiate between the actors?

Best regards

  • Considering that you are asking about whether several actors can share the same use-case, I wonder if this other question would not better suit your needs: https://stackoverflow.com/q/74188307/3723423 – Christophe Nov 18 '22 at 17:19
