It is simple and it WORKS
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!

It works well, thank you!
I' tried several of the "hide admin bar" plugins, but none offered the option to disable dashboard access.
