BusinessRole
A business role is the responsibility for performing specific behavior, to which an actor can be assigned, or the part an actor plays in a particular action or event.

Business processes or business functions are assigned to business roles with certain responsibilities or skills.

A business actor that is assigned to a business role is responsible that the corresponding behavior is carried out, either by performing it or by delegating and managing its performance.

In addition to the relation of a business role with behavior, a business role is also useful in a (structural) organizational sense; for instance, in the division of labor within an organization.

A business role may be assigned to one or more business processes or business functions, while a business actor may be assigned to one or more business roles.

A business interface or an application interface may serve a business role, while a business interface may be part of a business role (through a composition relationship, which is not shown explicitly in the interface notation).

The name of a business role should preferably be a noun.
