Explanation/ Scope:

Each department consists of various stores and a Store Manager manages proceedings of his/her store. The last employee in the privilege chain is the Sales Clerk for handling products in the store.
3. Central administrator has the control on all the activities, w.r.t. adding, deleting, modifying database information and accessing the daily sales in the Mall.
