Why teams connect Active Directory and Adobe Sign
Keep the users, groups, and profile details that Adobe Sign and Active Directory share consistent in real time, so who can work in Adobe Sign always matches who your directory in Active Directory says belongs there.
Active Directory is where a company records who its people are: their accounts, the groups and roles they hold, and the attributes attached to each one. Adobe Sign is where a slice of those same people do their work, as agents, members, or seats, and every one of them needs a matching account with the right access. When a directory and a productivity tool are maintained by hand, someone added, moved, or offboarded in one becomes a stale entry in the other within the hour.
Stacksync syncs Agreement Form Field Data, Agreement Events, Library Templates, Widgets in Adobe Sign with Groups, Group memberships, Devices, Directory roles in Active Directory bi-directionally and in real time. A user created, renamed, moved between groups, or deactivated in either system updates the matching record in the other within seconds, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV uploads and nightly IT batch jobs.
That matters most at the edges of employment. When both systems agree on who has an account, which groups they belong to, and whether they are still active, granting access on day one and revoking it on the last day stops being a manual checklist that trails the directory.
Common use cases
- 01 Sync completed Agreements and their Agreement Form Field Data into a Postgres warehouse so operations and finance query signer inputs (contract value, effective dates, checkbox selections) in SQL.
- 02 Provision and deactivate Users and Groups from an HR system or identity provider so Acrobat Sign membership and group placement track employee status.
- 03 Keep security-group memberships aligned with application entitlement tables so access reflects the right teams as they change.
- 04 Read Devices and service principals into a database for identity, asset, and license inventory across the tenant.
Common sync patterns
One record per person
People matched across both systems on email or an external ID stay linked, so every account and action in Adobe Sign ties back to the right identity in Active Directory.
Provision access when someone joins
A user added to Active Directory, or moved into a group inside it, gets the matching account or membership created in Adobe Sign, so a new hire can start working without a separate setup ticket.
Close access when someone leaves
When a user is disabled or removed in Active Directory, their account in Adobe Sign is deactivated in step, so offboarding shuts down access everywhere instead of leaving a live login behind.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Adobe Sign
Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.
| Active Directory objects | Adobe Sign objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Users User accounts in Entra ID and on-prem AD DS; synced two-way to create, update attributes, and enable or disable accounts. | Users Account users; provisioned and updated two-way from an HR system or identity provider. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Groups Security and Microsoft 365 groups; synced two-way including name, type, and owner, with membership tracked separately. | Groups Organizational groups that scope sharing and settings; synced from org structure or an IdP. | Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions. | |
| Group memberships Member and owner links between users and groups; membership add/remove changes are surfaced by delta query. | Agreements The core e-signature transaction; created and sent from other systems, then read back for status (out-for-signature, signed, cancelled) and the completed PDF. | Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Agreements to Adobe Sign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Devices Registered and joined device objects; typically read into a database for inventory and compliance reporting. | Agreement Form Field Data Merge fields prefilled at send and values captured from signers; read into a database so contract terms and inputs are queryable. | Devices is specific to Active Directory and Agreement Form Field Data to Adobe Sign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Directory roles Admin role assignments (directoryRole); read for access reviews and least-privilege governance. | Agreement Events Per-agreement audit trail of every action (viewed, delegated, signed); read-only, synced into compliance stores. | Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Agreement Events to Adobe Sign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Service principals & applications App registrations and enterprise apps; read-mostly for entitlement and license inventory. | Library Templates Reusable document templates (libraryDocuments); referenced when creating Agreements and synced for template governance. | Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Library Templates to Adobe Sign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Adobe Sign
Each direction of the sync is driven by what the source system can signal and what the destination accepts — detection, delivery, and expected latency below.
Active Directory Adobe Sign Sub-second propagation
DetectionActive Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Adobe Sign through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Adobe Sign Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionAdobe Sign notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (REST v6 webhook subscriptions) fire near-real-time on agreement events such as created, action requested, completed, and cancelled.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- Active Directory: Graph throttles by resource-unit cost per app per tenant in 10-second windows (about 3,500–8,000 units by tenant size); directory delta tokens expire after ~7 days.
- Adobe Sign: Per-user throttling at minute, hour, and day tiers shared between web UI and API traffic; exceeding a tier returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Exponential backoff with jitter is recommended.

How the Active Directory and Adobe Sign connectors work
Active Directory
- Integration surface
- Microsoft Graph REST API (Entra ID / cloud) and LDAP/LDAPS (on-premises AD DS)
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform — an app registration with application or delegated permissions (e.g. User.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All) and admin consent; on-prem AD DS uses a bound service account over LDAPS.
- Change detection
- Microsoft Graph delta query (change tracking) for Users and Groups, plus change-notification subscriptions (webhooks) for near-real-time triggers; on-prem AD DS uses the DirSync control and uSNChanged polling.

FAQ
Active Directory and Adobe Sign integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Active Directory and Adobe Sign: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Active Directory's Users and Groups), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Active Directory and Adobe Sign: One record per person; Provision access when someone joins; Close access when someone leaves. People matched across both systems on email or an external ID stay linked, so every account and action in Adobe Sign ties back to the right identity in Active Directory.
-
Active Directory: Microsoft Graph REST API (Entra ID / cloud) and LDAP/LDAPS (on-premises AD DS). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform — an app registration with application or delegated permissions (e.g. User.ReadWrite.All, Group.ReadWrite.All) and admin consent; on-prem AD DS uses a bound service account over LDAPS. Adobe Sign: REST API v6 (JSON). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow with granular per-resource scopes (agreement_read, agreement_write, agreement_send, user_read, user_write, webhook_read, webhook_write); legacy Integration Keys also supported. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Adobe Sign: Once sent, Agreements are largely immutable — signed documents and captured field data are read-only; sends can be cancelled or reminded but not freely edited. Active Directory: For hybrid users mastered on-premises, some attributes (e.g. userPrincipalName) cannot be changed in Entra ID because the object is sourced from AD DS. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Active Directory and Adobe Sign without custom code.
-
Stacksync is SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with HIPAA BAA support. Data is encrypted in transit, and a zero-persistent-storage architecture means Active Directory and Adobe Sign records are not retained after a sync operation.
