Bummer! I do not see the correct default output.

Can someone please advice what is wrong here. thanks

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

//change to switch statement
$role = 'admin';

    switch ($role) {
      case "admin":
        echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";
        break;

      default:
    echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
        break;

}

The problem is this line:

$role = 'admin';

The challenge never states that you should change what the role variable holds, it asks you to add a switch statement, and that is all you are meant to do. Removing that line will allow you to pass the task since the switch statement itself is correct.
