Toolset Access doesn't specifically provide post type archive restrictions. If only admins are allowed to see the full list, it might be simplest to show no archives on the front-end, and let admins see the list in wp-admin. That can be achieved in Toolset > Post Types. Edit the Lead Message post type and disable the Option "has_archive" to turn off the archive for this custom post type.

If front-end display for admins is a requirement, then you could turn off has_archive as described above, and create a custom Page with the same slug lead-message. Insert a View of Lead Messages to display for admins. Then add an Access Group to the Page and set the Access Group settings in Access Control to restrict from all Users except Admins:
