How to prevent non-admins from accessing “/wp-admin” dashboard?

Is there a code I can place inside functions.php that will prevent non-admins from accessing the “/wp-admin” dashboard? Ideally, this code will redirect non-admins to the homepage.

BuddyPress users should not be able to get to WP-admin as they are only subscribers

Add this code snippet to your child themes functions.php and it will do what you need.
```
<?php //Removes Access To Dashboard By Non-Admins Per Shawn
function baw_no_admin_access()
{
if( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) {
wp_redirect( home_url() );
die();
}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'baw_no_admin_access', 1 );
?>
```
