the dashboard can only be protected by the http endpoint security - so it will apply across the whole site and not tab by tab. You will need to investigate other dashboard options or build your own for per tab security. For example see the node-red-contrib-uibuilder project.

Also note that Dashboard is a "single-page app" - its "tabs" are visual, they are not separate web pages and so are not separately controlled by the server.
uibuilder will, indeed be able to support building a multi-page web app with different security on each page.
