• Welcome to WPSE, could you clarify what you actually want to add to the subscriber role. Do you want the user to see all postings because edit.php allows to enter the listing which holds all the posts. And what do you mean with user dashboard because Dashboard is a Tab on the Administration panel in the back-end. – Charles Commented Dec 28, 2018 at 17:34

Please update the code as below

add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menus' );
function remove_menus(){
   $user = wp_get_current_user();
    $role = ( array ) $user->roles;
        if($role[0]==subscriber)
    add_menu_page( 'edit.php' ); //dashboard

}

function add_custom_caps() { global $wp_roles; if ( ! isset( $wp_roles ) ) { $wp_roles = new WP_Roles(); } $role = get_role( 'subscriber' ); foreach ($wp_roles->get_role('editor')->capabilities as $key => $value){ $role->add_cap( $key ); } } add_action( 'admin_init', 'add_custom_caps');

It will clone all capability of Editor role and add them to Subscriber role
