Make sure you don’t get an Activity ‘context’ mismatch! It's up to you to manage it as intended. SysMLv1: MagicDraw/Cameo: Having a SystemContext as the 'subject' of each main UseCase plays nicely with the feature for automated creation of usage-level allocation swimlanes in SysML Activity Diagrams for part properties. But it's not the only way. SysMLv1: "Should" the 'subject' of a top-level UseCase be a System or (a particular) SystemContext? Answer: Which one would you like to be correct!?
