Added an admin-only scenario:
@ui @regression @user:admin
Scenario: An admin can void an order✖ features/orders/void.feature:22 tags/user @user:admin is not a declared role (standard, locked_out).We do have an admin account in the users CSV, with role set to admin. So why does lint not see it?
Accepted answer
Because lint does not read your CSV. It validates @user:<role> against tags.roles in the project yaml, which is a deliberately separate, hand-maintained list:
tags:
suites: [smoke, regression, sanity]
extra: [mock, visual, a11y, perf, data-driven, pool]
roles: [standard, locked_out]Add admin there and the error goes.
The separation is on purpose. The pool dataset is environment-specific and can be a file that does not exist on the machine running lint, or a database table, or fifty rows of which two are admins. tags.roles is the vocabulary you have agreed to use in features; the dataset is where the credentials live. A typo like @user:adnim is caught at lint time instead of at 3am when the lease fails.
Do check the two agree, though. A role that lints but has no row in the pool gives you a USER_POOL_EXHAUSTED at run time instead, which is a much slower way to learn the same thing.
Small note on the check itself: it is skipped entirely when tags.roles is empty. So a project that has never declared roles accepts @user:anything silently. Once you add the first role you are opting into validation for all of them, which surprised us the day we added one.

Ask it with the command you ran and the output you got, and it will be answered here.
