Difference between version 1.2.x and 1.3.x
One of key differences between versions 1.2.x and 1.3.x is how user from HR group can assign particular roles to his/her coworkers. In the earlier one, it was Jira group dependent thing that could have been configured by Jira administrator. In the recent version, it is done solely by HR group member and it is not a Jira's group thing.

After clicking on "Add Supervisor", or "Add user" you can also add Jira's whole team. By doing so, if you've upgraded from 1.2.x to 1.3.x, then it's possible to add to teams previously made groups, with already added people:
