The opening brace on line 3 should not be there, it should be on the end of line 4

switch($role) {

And the break on line 7 is missing the semi-colon at the end

break;

So, should look like this finished:

<?php
$role = 'subscriber';

switch($role) {
  case 'admin':
    echo 'As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.';
    break;
  case 'editor':
    echo 'As an editor, you can add or edit any post, and delete your own posts.';
    break;
  case 'author':
    echo 'As an author, you can add, edit, or delete your own post.';
    break;
  default:
    echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
    break;
}
?>
