Hi Laurent, et al.,

See my answer in issue 4195, refering to issue 2495.

You would like to show the difference in rights between different actors.

In such case, I usually show one diagram with all the states and all the 
transitions, with the actor's roles as a guard shown on the transitions.

A statechart is primarily meant to show the complete set of states e.g. 
a document can be in.
Sometimes I even draw only the states and un-annotated transitions, to 
keep the minds clear from activities.

It would be confusing to show only the states for a document that can be 
obtained by a certain kind of user, since then it would be incomplete. 
If the "admin" brings a user's document is a restricted state, does the 
user still see it? Even if not, he knows it is changed in a way that is 
not included in the documented states, so he knows the diagram is 
incomplete.

Kind regards,
Michiel
