Active user count different in 6.3.9 and after upgrade to 7.1.7

Question

Hi

After upgrading JIRA 6.3.9 to 7.1.7, the active user count does not match.

6.3.9 = 576 active users

7.1.7 = 659 used

In JIRA 7.1.7 when clicking on the link of the user number, I am redirected to the users list filtered by JIRA software access, and the number of users there is 619!!

Is there a reason for the difference?

jira-users does not necessarily mean jira-software users.  You'll need to analyse the old and new groups on both systems to work out who has moved where.

However, with numbers being quite close and an upgrade happening, I'd also want to take a look at the upgrade logs, as it may well be that you have damaged user records that the upgrade has fixed by re-indexing.  I'd want to take a close look at the old list and the new and then closely examine the four users who have been added.

I see additional difference in the groups themselves

jira-users in 6.x = 488

jira-users in 7.x = 492

I only refer to JIRA software
