Hi @pratik_b,

You can give necessary permissions at below path 

  • /libs/granite/ui/content/shell/start/content/cq/items/tabs/items/tools

Found similar thread here please check: https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-experience-manager/hide-tools-icon-on-aem-start-html/m-p/425797#M121312

Hope that helps!

Tools icon comes from below path:

/libs/granite/ui/content/shell/start/content/cq/items/tabs/items/tools

you can provide ACLs to restrict access to this path /libs/granite/ui/content/shell/start/content/cq/items/tabs/items/tools - sothat only users that are members of group that have permission to read above path will see Tools option in the start screen.
