I configured amazon elastic search service with t2. small instance. It's getting 2 end points one for elastic search and another one for kibana. Kibana I set up the Cognito authentication, so its getting login page. same way I want to set up search url. How can I do that? can anyone help me with this.

I am not sure AWS ES supports role-based access controls. You should probably ask AWS support.
