Why teams connect Active Directory and Docusign
Keep the users, groups, and profile details that Docusign and Active Directory share consistent in real time, so who can work in Docusign 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. Docusign 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 Tabs (form fields), Envelope Custom Fields, Folders, Users in Docusign 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 Extract Tabs data captured from signers — text fields, checkboxes, dates — into a warehouse to populate downstream contract or onboarding tables.
- 02 Push signed Documents and the certificate of completion into a document store or database keyed by Envelope Custom Fields for audit and retrieval.
- 03 Read Devices and service principals into a database for identity, asset, and license inventory across the tenant.
- 04 Two-way sync Users and Groups between Microsoft Entra ID and an HRIS or Postgres so joiners, movers, and leavers provision and deprovision automatically.
Common sync patterns
Keep profile attributes current
A person's name, email, department, manager, or phone number corrected in either system updates the other, so the productivity tool shows the same details the directory holds of record.
Mirror group and role membership
Moving a user between groups or roles in Active Directory updates their team, permission set, or seat in Docusign, so what someone can do reflects where they sit in the directory.
One record per person
People matched across both systems on email or an external ID stay linked, so every account and action in Docusign ties back to the right identity in Active Directory.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Docusign
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 | Docusign 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 members and senders; the eSignature Users resource exposes them for attribution and reporting, while bulk org-wide user provisioning uses the separate Admin API. | 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. | Envelopes The core container for a signature request — documents, recipients, routing, and status; read status and metadata two-way, and create/send new envelopes. | Groups is specific to Active Directory and Envelopes to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Group memberships Member and owner links between users and groups; membership add/remove changes are surfaced by delta query. | Recipients Signers, carbon copies, and agents on an envelope, each with a routing order and status; read recipient progress, write recipient lists when an envelope is created. | Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Recipients to Docusign — 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. | Documents The PDF files inside an envelope plus the certificate of completion; read signed output out to a store, or supply source documents on create. | Devices is specific to Active Directory and Documents to Docusign — 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. | Templates Reusable envelope definitions with predefined recipients and tab placement; read to map fields and referenced by ID to generate new envelopes. | Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Templates to Docusign — 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. | Tabs (form fields) Signature, initial, date, text, and checkbox fields on a document; they carry the data a signer entered and are read out into databases. | Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Tabs (form fields) to Docusign — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Docusign
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 Docusign 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 Docusign through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Docusign Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionDocusign notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Docusign Connect webhooks push envelope and recipient status-change events in real time.
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.
- Docusign: Default 3,000 API requests per hour per account across all integrations, plus a burst limit of 500 calls per 30-second window; usage is exposed via the RateLimit and BurstLimit response headers.

How the Active Directory and Docusign 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.
