The read capability allows them to see the dashboard screen. It also allows users to view their profile screen in the admin IIRC.

I have found that ‘read’ does not enable the wp-admin on my installation. Do you have any ideas why it might not be working for me ?
Thanks for your time.
There are no capabilities for accessing the WordPress admin itself. The admin is made up of many different components, each with different capabilities for access. You need the “read” cap for accessing the dashboard screen. You need other capabilities for accessing other screens.
The only thing you need to “access the admin” is to be logged in. If that’s not working for you, I recommend deactivating all other plugins.
it could be WooCommerce; check this out…
add_filter('woocommerce_prevent_admin_access', '_wc_admin_access', 10, 1);
function _wc_admin_access($prevent_admin_access) {
return false;
}
