How to make modern team site readonly?

I want to make modern team site as readonly. When I go to site settings I am not able to see the Site Policies option to add new policy. 

 

Do I need to activate any feature or it is expected behavior?

    Please go to Site settings > Site Collection Administration > Site collection features and activate "Site Policy" feature

    You will see Site policies option under Site Collection Administration 

    Then you can create read only policy and in site closure and deletion option you can make site as read only.

  • Can't just set the permissions on the site to inherit / uninherit and set all to read only?

      That is something work around that already known. But how to set site policy in modern site is the question.
      In Modern Sites did Microsoft removed this option or still under development?

        Don’t know but this could be easily done by going to advanced security add everyone to read
  • This is one of the options that it's hidden in the modern UI: Have you tried to directly type the SIte Policies URL? You can grab it from a classic spo site you have in your tenant
