How to set privilege to wordpress subscriber for private page

1. Without a plugin something like this should work

       //functions.php
       function get_user_role() {
       global $current_user;
   
       $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
       $user_role = array_shift($user_roles);
   
       return $user_role;
       }
   
       //page template
       $role = get_user_role();
       if($role == "subscriber"){
          //cool you can see this
       }
       else {
          //sorry not allowed
       }
   

   A BETTER way would be to use something like the Members Plugins which lets you have custom roles and check roles and such.

2. This post is a couple years old, but I thought I’d provide a simpler, cleaner conditional:

   if (current_user_can('subscriber')) {
   
   // subscriber code
   
   } else {
   
   // non-subscriber code
   
   }
