This isn't something that's built into Kibana. If you want to add authorization to your Kibana instance, there's 2 main ways; 1) our commercial security product, or 2) using a proxy of some kind. For 1, you just need to install X-Pack and enable the trial license (eventually you'll have to pay for it). There's a ton of examples online, even elastic.co, about how to set up 2, basically just using Apache or nginx to add auth (usually Basic auth) to the route.

Depends what you use to provide the authentication layer. In the case of both 1 and 2 mentioned above, the answer is yes, but obviously the methods are different. 1 will give you a UI to do it from Kibana, 2 you'll have to look up how to do it with your proxy of choice, but answer is probably just a search away.
Thanx Joe, that is very helpful
