    I wanted to create a user with read only permission so that they can only view the settings and cannot make any edits. I selected the “Read” capability for that user but its not working.
    Could you please suggest how this can be solved?

    ‘read’ capability allows general access to /wp-admin (admin back-end).
    There is no ‘read-only’ mode in WordPress until some plugin offers its own custom feature for this. Custom programming efforts are required to hide some content from the page (like ‘Update’ button) using JavaScript/CSS, etc.
