<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
    $role = 'subscriber';
}

//change to switch statement

switch($role){
    case $role = 'admin' :
    echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";

Sometimes it's a good idea to watch the video(s) again :-)

<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
    $role = 'subscriber';
}

//change to switch statement
switch($role) {
  case "admin": // Here you check to see if the $role is "admin"
    echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";
    break;

  default: // and don't add a space before :
    echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
    break;
}
