what’s the best way to get this done so that that static ip pc has view only role and only one username can login? Something that can be done for the whole project not just some views. Existing login method is default user source and with roles/users, is there a way to check for the username during login to give this read only permission?

For the accessible only from one PC / IP : Search up security zones

For the username having read only permissions then you should have roles created and that user name pointed to the view only role. Then you need to implement those roles in you project.
