Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

what you can do is - you should add a Conditional block And select the option Current User Role and check against your role value. Please check the following Doc:

Here is more advanced usage of conditional block:

To conditionally display content based on a current user's role, you can use conditional display shortcode [wpv-conditional]:

For Example:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-current-user info="role"]' eq 'administrator' )"]
 if current user role is administrator - display this content 
[/wpv-conditional]
