You want the user to be able to read files but not write them?

That would mean you would have to make sure that he isn't any group, that files allow group write. And any files owned by that user couldn't have write permission.
The user would be allowed to write to /tmp and /var/tmp.

1.we can assign permission for files to which the user is going access.
2. create a group and assign the rights to that as read only.
using chown,
chmod
chgrp commands.

Hi Amipankaj,

First, u will see the that user is in anyother group then,

use chmod and chwon command to set that user writes as a read only.
