Why do users get access to Dashboard?

WP MultiSite v4.2.1, bbPress v2.5.7, Plugin: Social Login

On this site, bbPress.org, and my own bbPress (sub)site, I notice that there is a menu item for Dashboard as a non-admin user. When I logged in as a non-admin user on my own site, I had access to my dashboard. And I was registered as a user for the entire MultiSite network. When I was in Documentation on this site, bbPress.org, I saw a submenu item for Dashboard. Dashboard is not a menu item when in the bbPress.org Support Forums – just ‘Create a New Topic’ is in the submenu.

I don’t like that. I don’t understand it. I only want forum users, nothing more.

I thought it was something I did until I saw the same thing on this site.

Please advise.
Thank you

its not just for Admins , it could be useful to moderators in bbPress’s case , and also be handy for participant users if you have BuddyPress installed.

you can install this plugin to remove access for certain user roles.
