I am currently using Version 6.7 in AWS Cluster. I want to share readonly dashboards (users should only have access to change time filter) to users. Is there a way to accomplish this?

As far as I know [AWS ES does not support role-based access controls](https://www.elastic.co/aws-elasticsearch-service) so I do not think this is possible.

How about using AWS Cognito to achieve this?

I do not think that adds any role-based access controls to AWS ES, but you might be better off asking AWS support.
