    I don’t think you can use CASE statement to execute some actions (inserts, updates…), it’s used to calculate expressions. You can use IF..ELSE statement:

    IF @accesslevel = 'Order'
    INSERT INTO Permissions(UserAccountID,PrintOrder) 
    VALUES(@userid,1)

ELSE IF @accesslevel = 'Cashier'
      INSERT INTO Permissions(UserAccountID,PrintInvoice,SaveAndClear)
      VALUES(@userid,1,1)

     ELSE IF @accesslevel = 'Supervisor'
           INSERT INTO Permissions(UserAccountID,TableOperation,
             ExchangeRate,SaleReport,Section,Category,
             MenuItem,DeleteOrder,DeleteOneItem,MergeTable,
             SplitTable,PrintInvoice,PrintOrder,CalculateChange,
             SaveAndClea)
           VALUES(@userid,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) 

          ELSE IF @accesslevel = 'Manager'
                INSERT INTO Permissions(UserAccountID,TableOperation,
                    ExchangeRate,SaleReport,Section,Category,
                    MenuItem,DeleteOrder,DeleteOneItem,MergeTable,
                    SplitTable,PrintInvoice,PrintOrder,CalculateChange,
                    SaveAndClear,DailyIncome)
                VALUES(@userid,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1) 

               ELSE
                INSERT INTO Permissions(UserAccountID,TableOperation,
                    ExchangeRate,TablePicture,SaleReport,DailyIncome,
                    Section,Category,MenuItem, UserAccount,UserPermission,
                    StaffManagement,DeleteOrder,DeleteOneItem,MergeTable,
                    SplitTable,PrintInvoice,PrintOrder,CalculateChange,
                    SaveAndClear)
                VALUES(@userid,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)
