Hi @yaddanki 
You need to craete "On load" client script to acheive this.
PFB sample. to make the date field read-only for non-admin users.
Client script:

function onLoad() {
    if (!g_user.hasRole('admin')) {
        g_form.setReadOnly('<FIELD NAME>', true); //REPLACE THE <FIELD NAME> WITH THE ACTUAL FIELD
    } else {
        g_form.setReadOnly('<FIELD NAME>', false); //REPLACE THE <FIELD NAME> WITH THE ACTUAL FIELD
    }

}

Non-Admin user view:

Admin user view:

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Siva

2 approaches

1) simply create a field level WRITE ACL

Give "admin" in roles section

OR

2) you cannot use UI policy for this, please use onLoad client script on incident table

function onLoad() {

    if (!g_user.hasRoleExactly('admin')) {
        g_form.setReadOnly('fieldName', true);
    }
}
