I have some web developers that I'm not keen on give admin rights to :)

Read-only access is not possible with any built-in IIS functionality.

IIS is designed to only allow read/write access to Administrators. Non-
administrators have no rights to read nor write because that is
usually security disclosure.

If you want a custom authorization model for IIS configuration, then
you will have to craft the security model yourself. The functionality
is possible with a custom web application. Maybe the various Control
Panels for IIS have this notion, but I cannot suggest any.
