I am using Yii2 basic.
I have Employee table and I have assigned Employee model to user application component as follows in config file:
‘user’ => [
'identityClass' => 'app\models\Employee',
'enableSession' => true,
],
I have also created permissions, roles and assigned roles to employees using RBAC.
1. Now when employee whose role is admin logs in, he can see foll menus on sidebar of Admin LTE:
Masters
Employee
Employee Training
SHGProfile
Survey
When employee whose role is fieldofficer logs in, he also sees above menus on sidebar. Fieldofficer should only see foll menus:
My Profile
SHGProfile
How to change the menus on sidebar of Admin LTE as per roles of the employees?
2. Employee should be able to log in to the system only if role is assigned to employee. How to accomplish this?

Just construct the menu items dynamically by checking the user’s permissions/roles.
$items = []; // menu items
if (Yii::$app->user->can('admin')) {
$items = [
... // items for admins
];
} else if (Yii::$app->user->can('fieldofficer')) {
$items = [
... // items for field officers
];
} else {
$items = [
... // items for ordinary employees
];
}
I think you’ve got the things up-side-down. Any role except for ‘Guest’ can only be acquired after a successful login. In other words, an user who could successfully logged in to the system would get an Employee role or an Admin role or something like that according to your definitions.
So, what you have to think about is what actions should be permitted or prohibited to ‘Guest’.

Something like the following in "main.php" layout file:
<?php if (Yii::$app->user->can('admin')): ?>
<li><a href="..."> <span class="...">Employee Training</span></a></li>
<li><a href="..."> <span class="...">SHG Profile</span></a></li>
... <!-- items for admins -->
<?php else if (Yii::$app->user->can('fieldofficer')): ?>
<li><a href="..."> <span class="...">Something</span></a></li>
<li><a href="..."> <span class="...">Other</span></a></li>
... <!-- items for field officers -->
<?php else: ?>
... <!-- items for employees -->
<?php endif ?>
