# Restrict Dashboard Access

 * I want to create a user level that can only Read, Read private posts, and Read
   private pages.
 * I do not want them to be able to have any access to the dashboard, but when they
   log in, it still brings them to the dashboard with with all of the News feeds
   for my WordPress and my Theme. Ideally, I’d want any access to the wp-admin section
   to redirect them back to their home page. Is this possible?

 * Thank you for reporting this.
 * Are you using the login shortcode to display the login form? If so, that should
   redirect users back to the current page after logging in.
 * Currently it is not possible to block the admin dashboard completely, but it 
   is a great idea, and I’ll see if I can implement it in the next version.

 * That would be great! For now I am using a second plugin to do this: [Remove Dashboard Access](https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-dashboard-access-for-non-admins/),
   but it would be much more convient if it could all be managed with just one plugin.
 * I use Restrict Dashboard Access on a few websites that this would be helpful 
   for; so, please let me know when this is implemented so I can streamline my process
   on them.
