Answer 1

I found the answer. To HIDE Dashboard from certain users following are the steps we need to take.

Open admin\controller\user\user_permission.php

FIND

$ignore = array('common/home',
                  'common/startup',
                  'common/login',
                  'common/logout',
                  'common/forgotten',
                  'common/reset',                                             
                  'error/not_found',
                  'error/permission',
                  'common/footer',
                   'common/header'
                  );

REMOVE 'common/home',

Create XML file and add under vqmod xml folder.
