How to customize WordPress dashboard for different users?

I would suggest this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/adminimize/

What does this plugin do?

The plugin changes the administration backend and gives you the power
to assign rights on certain parts. Admins can activate/deactivate
every part of the menu and even parts of the sub-menu. Meta fields can
be administered separately for posts and pages. Certain parts of the
write menu can be deactivated separately for admins or non-admins. The
header of the backend is minimized and optimized to give you more
space and the structure of the menu gets changed to make it more
logical – this can all be done per user so each role and their
resulting users can have his own settings.
