    You can model a user case actor like you can for a class on a sequence
    diagram.

    Create a few actors, give them some operations, then drag/drop them on a
    sequence diagram. The messages (calls) can be set to specific operations on
    the actor instance.

    As for tagged values, they will show up in Shape Display Options... enable
    Properties checkbox.

    Hope this helps.
