After trying a few bloated plugins, i tried this and it was wonderfully simple UI.
I have multiple custom roles in my site and it instantly recognised them too. Perfect.
Only slight concern is the plugin has not been updated in over a year so I hope 
it will not break in a future version of WP. Thank you!

I’ tried several of the “hide admin bar” plugins, but none offered the option to
disable dashboard access.
