Actor Profiles (Operational Stakeholders)

A primary actor is a stakeholder that calls on the system to deliver one of its services. The primary actor is often, but not always, the actor that triggers a use case. (For example, the system design could call for a proxy to trigger a use case for a primary actor.)

The name of an actor can mean an individual but more generally indicates the category of individuals who play a given role.

Stakeholder Interests

A stakeholder is somebody/thing that cares how a use case is executed -- that provides constraints and rules. Not all stakeholders interact with the system; that is, not all stakeholders are actors. Primary actors are listed in the Actor Profile Table.
