As I know, there was more case to put. The author case. Even though I put it but still didn't work. After looking for answer from community forum i realized that it was thing about space. Like I put all case and all syntax correctly, it said it didn't see the case. and this is the code that work

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;
}
