Drupal 8 Shortcuts have a few different permissions that can be applied, including the permission for a user to select their own shortcut set.
There is no way, out of the box, to assign a shortcut set to a particular role, however. We would like to be able to do this to provide a less confusing, limited set of administrative links to our group users.
To do this, we use the Shortcut Per Role module.
Go to Admin Menu > Configuration > User Interface > Shortcuts.
From the Shortcuts screen:
Click the Shortcuts Per Role tab.
On the Assign Shortcuts for Role screen:
Authenticated User select field = select the new shortcut set.
Leave all others set to Default.
Click the Save Configuration button.
Open a private/incognito browsing session and go to your site.
Log in to the site as a user with the appropriate role.
Click the Shortcuts link in the Admin Toolbar.
The new Shortcut Set will appear.
