Read only access to central repository

Hi Experts

is it possible to provide 'Read only' access to central repository, while Full access to Local repository. Basically i would like create an user which has Full access to local repo and 'Get latest version' to that user.

I created an user at General level (Full access to one repo and view access to all other repos, including central repo). When i give Full control to central repo, i am able to checkin/checkout, which i dont want to provide to that user. If i give 'view' to centeal repo, it is saying 'No repositories found'.

please advise.

Thanks!
