Is there way to define access control permission for the indexes, so that when we deploy the elastic search in the cloud, it is much more controlled and not open both outside and for internal users of the system. I don't want all my users to see every indexes, but in a more controlled fashion (like single sign on between elasticsearch service and my server side).... Is this something that is supported or can there be a wrapper or plugin support to accomplish this. ---

No, you need to manage that.
