<?php

if (!isset($role)) {
    $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.";
}
?>
