Hi @Akhil,  
take a look at this page: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/getting-started-with-elasticsearch-security](https://www.elastic.co/blog/getting-started-with-elasticsearch-security) - in the section: 'Configure role-based access control (RBAC) within Kibana' you have an example how to add a user with read access to two indices (replace specific indices with \* if you want grant the access to all of them).
