Actor

Actor is a key element of bouquet that genreates artifacts for the actor of the system. This includes views, Command Line Interface, Documentation etc…

The key here is to show how the actor works with the system. To demonstrate this a top level landing page is created for the web ui that shows all of the actors of the system. Clicking on the actor will then go to a landing page for the actor which will show all of the actions that can be performed for the actor.

The same should be true for the CLI for the system as well. Only the commands that are allowed the actor should be avialable. the experience for the Actor should be changed based on their use cases. The underlying actions should be the same but the UseCases might be different.

Command Line Interface
