I am looking to connect to Elasticsearch in AWS via odbc, but get the following error...  
connection failed: [Elastic][EsODBC 6.8(c0ace37 +,u,r) Driver]{"Message":"Your Request: '/\_xpack/sql' is not allowed."}

Where can I allow this?

Have a look at [Elastic Cloud: Hosted Elasticsearch, Hosted Search | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/cloud) and [AWS Marketplace: Elastic Cloud (Elasticsearch Service)](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B01N6YCISK).

Cloud by elastic is one way to have access to all features, all managed by us. Think about what is there yet like Security, Monitoring, Reporting, SQL, Canvas, APM, Logs UI, Infra UI, SIEM, Maps UI, AppSearch and what is coming next 🙂 ...

I'm afraid you can't use this feature when running this service. But may be ask AWS support?
