Styling user roles differently? Different templates

Working on a site that has heavy impressions/users. It uses Buddypress.

So there’s the regular members (set to Subscribers user role for all new registrations). We also have a team of writers (set to Authors or Admins user role).

Can we style the Admins/Authors differently than subscribers? So a different template for Authors than Subscriber.

Site info:
Buddypress Version 2.1.1
WordPress 4.0.1
Using Firmasite theme (bootstrap)

I haven’t edited any core files in WP/BP.

You can add the following template to your theme to override how members profile are displayed: /buddypress/members/single/index.php

In that index.php you can include different template parts to display the user based on their role.

So, you’d have a template part to display writers, and a different template part to display subscribers.

You can read more on the template hierarchy here: https://codex.buddypress.org/themes/theme-compatibility-1-7/template-hierarchy/
