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.
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
}

As of v3.5.2, which is the version I'm currently using when I posted my answer, this conditional answers the OP question in a much cleaner/simpler way than the accepted answer. How is that not clear? – Spartacus Jul 16 '13 at 16:03

current_user_canis not new in 3.5.2. It has been around since 2.0.0, according to a note in the source. Your answer implies that this works beginning with -- aka, "as of"-- WordPress 3.5.2. That is not accurate. – s_ha_dum Jul 16 '13 at 16:13 -
1"As of" does not imply beginning with... Please don't argue with me about semantics of the English language. Nor did I say
current_user_canis a new function. Please also stop arguing with me about the intent of my answer. – Spartacus Jul 22 '13 at 20:08 -
2I am not arguing about the intent of your answer but I found the language of your answer to be confusing, so I asked a question, then, as you didn't understand the confusion, I explained why. Simple process. Not really something worth the hostility. – s_ha_dum Jul 22 '13 at 22:52
