How to restrict user's(subscribers only) from dashboard ?

I found a snippet from wordpress codex to restrict user’s from dash board. This block access to the admin panel for users that do not have the Administrator Role. Is there any way that we may tweak the snippet to block access for the users that are subscribers only?

Because the above snippet restricted the access to all the users(Author, Editor, etc) but i want to restrict this for the subscribers only.

```
function restrict_admin(){
	//if Subscriber or low, kill WordPress execution and provide a message
	if ( ! current_user_can( 'edit_posts' ) ) {
		wp_die( __('You are not allowed to access this part of the site') );
	}
}
add_action( 'admin_init', 'restrict_admin', 1 );
```
Is this ok for you?

oopss the user(subscriber) could not post anything, even could not update his status by applying this code. Is there any alternative solution? i do not want to try plugins. plz.

`function restrict_admin(){
//if Subscriber or low, kill WordPress execution and provide a message
if ( ! current_user_can( ‘edit_posts’ ) ) {
wp_die( __(‘You are not allowed to access this part of the site’) );
}
}
add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘restrict_admin’, 1 );`
