    In that case, Please visit settings->BuddyBlog and you can put the capability of which users are allowed
    to edit from the dashboard.

    By Default, admin,editors etc are allowed.

    Hi Rishabh,

    Please use “manage_options” to limit that to admin only. If you do that, It will show the front end editor too the users.

    It still does not prevent users from logging into dashboard though. You will need some code or plugin to do that.

    I mean, are you logged in as admin and trying to click edit links on profile? It will redirect to the admin dashboard screen.

    After updating the capability option, Please log in as normla user/author and visit your profile and click edit link. What it does then?
