This link should work if the VIEW contains a Block and a Page - the link from the block will be directed to this page. I've never used it, so I might be wrong. But what can be done easier is to...
Thank you very much for your reply!
I understood that I first need to create a VIEW. I had assumed that the settings were configured via the block because it’s already included in Backdrop...
I second this-- I have a module in contrib now that I just marked as "deprecated", and I removed its sole alpha release (because a fix in Core made it obsolete). Just plain deleting the module...

Yes, the easiest way do do this would be with Layouts. You can add a "Visibility condition" to the menu block that checks a User's role.
Start on the Layouts UI at admin/structure/layouts, and click "Manage Blocks" for the default layout.
For whichever menu you'd like to hide, click on the "Configure" link at the right.
When the modal opens, csroll down to the "Visibility conditions" section at the very bottom, and pop it open. Click on "Add visibility condition"
Then select the User: role option.
Then select the user role "Authenticated" if you only want people who are logged-in to see the menu!
Note that you will need to repeat these steps for all layouts where you want the block limited by role.
