how can i create a user , when they login directly view devtools and only have read only(GET) access.

what are the steps for this, as I can not see any info related to this.

Any help on this would be very appreciated

go to advance setting, default route = /app/dev\_tools

and hopefully when they login they will directly go to dev\_tool

in role section there is space area. you add a space there and edit that one and give only limited access to whatever you like.
