Hi @arsalan_siddiqui, welcome to our community!

Since version 7.1, core security features of the Elastic Stack are free.
This includes file and native realm for creating and managing users.

There's a helpful blog that explains the details at https://www.elastic.co/blog/security-for-elasticsearch-is-now-free.

You can also find subscription details at https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions
I've copied the relevant details into the screen shot below:

We you you enjoy the Elastic Stack and have success with your project!
