Is it possible to hide admin updates notifications for theme and plugins when creating a new user role?
For example, I created a new Admin role, removed all the options to installing and updating plugins, but I still see the notifications in the dashboard when logged in with the new user role. Am I missing something?

Hello,

What is the exact "admin updates notifications" are we talking about? can you copy/paste it here?
And I have tried it in a fresh WordPress installation with a fresh WordPress installation + the latest version of Toolset Access plugin, after deactivate those permission options for new user role:
- update_core
- update_plugins
- update_themes

And I did not see the any updates notifications in dashboard.

sorry, I'm referring to any and all admin notices on the dashboard for theme and plugins. See screenshot.

Thanks for the details, I assume those admin notices you mentioned in screenshot are from other plugins/theme:

I suggest you check it with those plugin author, check which permission need to disable to hide those notices, then setup in Access setting, see our document:
