Hi Jean,

Thank you for contacting Toolset Support.

By default, Toolset Access does have various options to restrict access to some backend sections of your site. You can check it by creating a new Custom Role there you will see all capabilities and select what’s required or de-select what’s not needed for your requirements.
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/managing-wordpress-admin-capabilities-access/

For more capabilities, you can try using any of the following plugins to restrict access to various sections:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-role-editor/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpfront-user-role-editor/

I hope it helps.
Thank you
