Can we provide partial access to configurations and settings from setup gear to users using permission set?

We need to show the setup gear to users but want to restrict to certain configuration and settings of the setup tool. We dont want to give the access as a Sys Admin for configuration changes etc.

Yes, you can configure and provide or restrict user access based on profile/permission set settings.

Check below references for more details.

Has this same question. Not seeing an answer specific to the gear icon/setup functionality and providing limited access to functions within setup that are not covered by the delegated administrator.
