Not possible. Contrary to the editable grid, the read only grid does not support as many components.

From the documentation:

https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/23.3/Grid_Column_Component.html

The value can be text, a!imageField(), a!linkField(), a!richTextDisplayField(), a!tagField(), a!buttonArrayLayout(), a!recordActionField(), or a!progressBarField().

    Why not just show the selected options in a bullet point list inside a rich text display field?

    I need them to be able to select or unselect in case they need to.

    Inside a read-only grid ?!?!? There is a reason for that name.

    As a workaround, consider that that Read Only Grid can very easily show the Rich Text Display Field and any of its possible configurations, including all of the Rich Text Icon choices, which include various options that replicate radio buttons and checkboxes.

      I was thinking of doing that but since is more of a Yes or No question for the user, with Icons I dont think I can do that. In the case if they need to unselect the selected choice.

      or is it possible?

      Can you provide a bit more detail as to what you're trying to allow them to select/unselect?  The concept of selection in a read-only grid is generally keyed specifically towards selection of an entire row (or set of rows), but it sounds like you might really be after something else here - I'm having a hard time telling what, though.
