<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
$role = 'admin';
}
//change to switch statement
switch ($role){
case 'subscriber':
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator";
break;
default:
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator";
break;
case 'admin':

What you've done is actually really good, but you can simplify your switch statement a bit to help get it to meet the requirements of the assignment.
<?php
//Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber
if (!isset($role)) {
$role = 'admin';
}
//change to switch statement
switch ($role) {
case 'admin':
echo 'As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.';
break;
default:
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
break;
}
Make sure your default statement ends with a period, it seems the assignment checks that that string is exact. Then just add the one admin case above the default statement.
