A use case diagram shows how users (actors) interact with a system through specific actions (use cases). It includes actors, use cases, associations, and a system boundary. In the sample diagram, two actors - Regular User and Administrator - connect to four use cases: Log In, View Dashboard, Submit Request, and Approve Request. The Regular User performs the first three actions, while the Administrator handles the first two and the last one, approve request.
