$role = 'admin';
switch(!isset($role)){
  case 'admin':

In switch statement you have to pass a value you and than as per that value the case will be executed 

//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;
}
