Problem:

Is it possible to restrict access to the post-type archive but not the single post?

Solution:

It is possible to restrict users to access pages using the method below:

But please consider that WordPress creates an archive automatically when a custom post type is created and the control for accessing that is connected to the whole post type itself and there is no distinction.

So be aware that even if you restrict the page in question that contains the archive, there is an internal link created by WordPress that will be accessible unless you restrict the access of the whole post type.
