How do I stop members to have any access to the back-end?

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

Problem:
The user would like to restrict all users from accessing the wp-admin area.

Solution:
Toolset does not offer any way of restricting the backend for the site users. You can still achieve that using a 3rd party plugin or using custom code. Check the following links:

I don't want my members to have access to the WordPress back-end, I only want them to be able to use the front-end.

At bear minimum this is to remove the admin toolbar (automatically upon sign-up, I know this can be unchecked on the profile edit page). Ideally, they wouldn't be able to access the back-end if they knew any of the standard WP paths/pages.

This doesn't seem like a big ask fo ra membership site, so I assume I've missed something obvious but can't find it in the documentation. How is this achieved?
