[Resolved] Deny access to whole site with Toolset Access

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
How could I deny access to the whole site for an entire user role or a single user, using Toolset Access?

Solution:
You can control what any user or user role can do in your website under Toolset > Access Control.
There you can manage who can access what post types and do what with them, inclusive front end read and backend edit actions.

If you remove all rights then, of course, the user won't be able to see/use those, but it doesn't control the basic access to the backend of WordPress or generally the access of the website as "one".

The same is valid for Taxonomies, Forms, fields, and other controllable items of Toolset Access.

You cannot completely "ban" users from visiting a site in general but you can, of course, control every single page and post, and hence avoid certain users or roles to even access a single page on your website without being redirected to an error template.

Hey! Is there a way to disable a specific user role for access to the whole site? but still keep the user on the system.
