I presume that the iPad in question is up to date and running iPadOS13.6.1 - and by way of Restrictions, you are looking to use ScreenTime to control access to certain features/functions.


You’ll need to configure a ScreenTime passcode that is obviously different to the device passcode - and the former needs to be known only to you.
