Hi @Abj_Ins , Thanks for your question.

The Upgrade Assistant should be in Stack Management \> Stack \> Upgrade Assistant. However, please make sure that the user who is trying to access it has cluster privilege `manage` [Upgrade Assistant | Kibana Guide [7.17] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.17/upgrade-assistant.html)

Best,  
Carlos

We don't have Upgrade Assistant option in Stack Management as highlighted above. Although, we are using Master User to access it.

Thanks.
