Hello @Ashwin Kurundkar 

To clarify terminology Scrum and Kanban refer to agile Boards. Dashboards in Jira is something entirely different.

Agile Boards are based on a Saved Filter. You may not be able to prevent the users from navigating to the board, but you can prevent them from seeing the content by not Sharing the board's Saved Filter with them. Example:

Go to Board Settings for the board.

On the Details tab click on the Edit Filter Query link.

That will open the filter in the "All work" screen. There you can click the Filter details link to see with whom the filter has been shared and change those settings.

If the filter is not shared with the users then even if they are able to navigate to the board they should see no issues in it.

There currently is not a way to manage access directly to the Boards except by managing access to the related Filter.

Quickly and securely lock off your Jira scrum and kanban dashboards to specific users only!

Easy Steps
Click... > Edit dashboard > Share dashboard to open the dashboard.
Change it to "Only specific people can view or edit" and add users, groups, or your project (for those with browse permissions).

Select edit or view-only access, then click Save. Done! There is no cross-access turmoil when your kanban crew receives kanban and your scrum squad observes scrum. @Ashwin Kurundkar If this works kindly let me know.

Hello @Ashwin Kurundkar 

Dashboards don’t really “belong” to a project the way boards do. In Jira, a dashboard is basically a shared page so you control access by changing its sharing settings.

What to do:

Open the Scrum dashboard

Click … → Share dashboard (or Edit dashboard)

Remove anything broad like Public / All logged-in users

Share it only with the people who should see it  ideally a group or a project role

I usually do it with groups because it scales better:

make one group for Scrum dashboard viewers

make another group for Kanban dashboard viewers

share each dashboard only with the right group

One thing to keep in mind: hiding the dashboard doesn’t hide the issues. Users still need the right project permissions to see the data inside the gadgets.
