Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can remove the Dashboard menu item completely by adding following code to your current theme's functions.php file.

function remove_admin_menus () {
    global $menu;
	
	
$restricted = array();	
if (current_user_can( 'editor' ) ) {	
    $restricted = array(__('Dashboard'));
	
	end ($menu);
    while (prev($menu)){
        $value = explode(' ',$menu[key($menu)][0]);
        if(in_array($value[0] != NULL?$value[0]:"" , $restricted)){unset($menu[key($menu)]);}
    }
	
}
    
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'remove_admin_menus');

I've setup example for editor role - if user role = editor then editor user will not be able to see the Dashboard menu. You can adjust above code as per your need.
