After creating two users with

1. permissions: "\*",
2. permissions: "read"  
I want to disable few flows for non-admin user.

How can I achieve this in node-red?

You cannot. There permissions model doesn't apply to individual flows.

The runtime is not a multi-tenant system with each user getting their own set of flows - all users share the same flows.
