I wonder if "As any user" doesn't really make sense for BDD tests? It implies the test should be run over, basically, every combination of roles, right? Is there some standard way for handling this in the implementation? I can't imagine how a "asAnyUser" method could accomplish that iteration....

I think and anonymous connection and a test as an authenticated user with no additional roles would cover "as any user" adequately where Drupal is concerned.

When there are more complex role requirements, I imagine that tables like the ones described at http://docs.behat.org/guides/1.gherkin.html#tables could come in handy. I'm still trying to distinguish between these and Scenario Outlines, so I'm not totally sure how these fit in. I'm mostly struggling with these because I see a lot of procedural examples in the Behat docs that seem, generally speaking, at odds with the best practices described at https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Cucumber-Backgrounder
