Try this. Your code is fine. Just delete the parentheses at $role != 'admin'

<?php
$username = 'sketchings';
//Available roles: author, editor, admin
$role = 'editor';

//add conditional statement
if ($username && $role != 'admin') {
  echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator.";
}
