Without changing the variables, create a SINGLE conditional statement around the echo command that checks:

i was not able to use negation

index.php 
<?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 administratior.";
}

The first part of this challenge asks if the var $username "is set", not if it equals an empty string. There should also be spaces within your condition:

$role != 'admin'

Hope this helps!
