I have added a good link on it below.

But basically you just need to go to Manager in the top right; Select Access Controls in the User box down in the bottom right; Give the role and name and select the App with the dashboards you want to use; (a sidenote, an App is more like a workspace so you want to put all the dashboards per specific user / usergroup into a single app to restrict access); You can then select different capabilities or none depending on what you want the user to be able to do.

You are best building a dashboard without any search control and only access to the one App which contains these dashboards to restrict a user. Base the role on the User role or you may encounter some problems and bare in mind that they require some search capabilities to access some dashboards as a dashboard is essentially a collection of searches, if you restrict this then they won't be able to view a great deal on the dashboard.

See the following links for more detail;
