Hi, I just completed the challenge without adding 'subscriber' to the Switch statement as the challenge didn't ask you to put it into the Switch.

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

//change to switch statement
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;
}

Hi Nicolas,

I just pasted my above code into the challenge and it passes both. What part do you find not working, maybe the error will give some hints.

Thanks.
