Symptoms
Many fixes to the user management in JIRA are actually first fixed in Crowd and ported over. With that, to determine whether or not a fix has been ported over into JIRA, we'd need to check the Crowd version currently used by JIRA.
Resolution
Check the pom.xml file from JIRA's source code:
Download the JIRA source for the corresponding JIRA version that you'd like to check: https://my.atlassian.com/download/source/JIRA
Open up the pom.xml file. This exists in the /jira-project/ subfolder when you extract the source code package.
Locate the Crowd version, it should look something like:
1<crowd.version>2.4.9</crowd.version>In the above example, all bugs fixed as of Crowd 2.4.9 should have made it into JIRA
