Logon to cisco
 on config mode. router(config)#username "account" privilege 7 password "credentials"

logon to switch with username=account and password=credentials
there is no "read only" account in cisco ios.

without admin privileges u can't do much at all, not even view everything.

to have a good "read only" account u have to use a tacacs server where u specify the allowed commands for the user.
