Why teams connect Active Directory and Greenplum
Land the users, groups, and access events from Active Directory in Greenplum continuously for security analytics, and write computed results back — without building or maintaining a pipeline.
Active Directory is the record of who exists and what they can reach; Greenplum is where the business measures everything else. The two overlap on people and their access — the same users, groups, roles, and events that Active Directory governs are what security, compliance, and analytics teams want to query in Greenplum. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.
Stacksync syncs Devices, Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units from Active Directory into tables in Greenplum in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Greenplum, such as risk scores or access-review decisions, can be written back to attributes in Active Directory where the identity team acts on them. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than a pipeline you keep alive.
Common use cases
- 01 Feed BI reporting by syncing curated Greenplum views to downstream tools on a schedule.
- 02 Consolidate data from multiple source systems into partitioned Greenplum fact tables.
- 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
Access governance on joined data
Join Active Directory's users and group memberships with HR, product, and usage data already in Greenplum to surface who holds access they no longer need.
Queryable history for audit and compliance
A continuously synced copy in Greenplum gives you a durable, queryable record of identity and access state for access reviews, SOC 2, and audit questions.
Risk and review results back on the account
Risk scores, anomaly flags, or access-review outcomes computed in Greenplum write back to attributes on the matching user in Active Directory, where the identity team can act on them.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Greenplum
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 | Greenplum objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Directory roles Admin role assignments (directoryRole); read for access reviews and least-privilege governance. | Rows Read and written by key; distribution keys determine where rows live. | Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Rows to Greenplum — 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. | Databases Top-level containers that scope a sync connection. | Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Databases to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizational units On-prem AD DS containers (LDAP organizationalUnit) used to scope which users and groups a sync includes. | Schemas Namespace tables and control which objects a sync can see. | Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Schemas to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Organizational contacts Directory contact objects (orgContact); synced for shared address-book and CRM person records. | Tables Heap or append-optimized tables mapped directly to sync targets. | Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Tables to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Users User accounts in Entra ID and on-prem AD DS; synced two-way to create, update attributes, and enable or disable accounts. | Partitions Large tables are commonly partitioned by date, which shapes incremental reads. | Users is specific to Active Directory and Partitions to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups Security and Microsoft 365 groups; synced two-way including name, type, and owner, with membership tracked separately. | Views Read-only projections used to shape data before syncing it out. | Groups is specific to Active Directory and Views to Greenplum — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Greenplum
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 Greenplum 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 applied to Greenplum as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Greenplum Active Directory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Greenplum for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling with timestamp or key-based cursors.
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.
- Greenplum: Bounded by cluster resources and concurrency settings rather than an API quota.

How the Active Directory and Greenplum 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.
- Capabilities

FAQ
Active Directory and Greenplum integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Active Directory and Greenplum: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Active Directory's Directory roles and Service principals & applications), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Active Directory and Greenplum connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Active Directory–Greenplum integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Active Directory and Greenplum. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Active Directory: 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. On Greenplum: Polling with timestamp or key-based cursors; Greenplum does not expose logical-decoding CDC. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Greenplum side: Tables, Partitions, Views, External tables, plus custom fields where Greenplum exposes them. On the Active Directory side: Devices, Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
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.
