Additional comments

Users with Administrator role had the ability to use Batch Operation on J3, we recently upgraded to Joomla 4 and users have noticed they don't have the option with regards to Articles anymore.

I cannot reproduce,
I tried with role Manager and Administrator on new installation, and they both have Batch.

Maybe something missing while upgrading?

Check that user have all these access:

joomla-cms/administrator/components/com_content/src/View/Articles/HtmlView.php

Lines 219 to 221 in 1e7527b

$user->authorise('core.create', 'com_content')
&& $user->authorise('core.edit', 'com_content')
&& $user->authorise('core.execute.transition', 'com_content')

I suspect core.execute.transition is missing.
You can find it in /administrator/index.php?option=com_config&view=component&component=com_content => Permission tab => "Execute Transition"

I found the same problem for administrator account and till i found this topic it wasn't easy to find the fix. My site also came from an updated version of joomla 3. Maybe we add the fix to the migration script and administrator core.execute.transition make it true?
