it says that the code is not checking whether $role is not equal to 'admin'
<?php
$username = 'sketchings';
//Available roles: author, editor, admin
$role = 'editor';
//add conditional statement
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administratior.";

<?php
$username = 'sketchings';
//Available roles: author, editor, admin
$role = 'editor';
//add conditional statement
if (isset($username) && $role != 'admin') {
echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administratior.";
}
