Why teams connect Active Directory and Logisense

Keep the people who can act on financial records in Logisense matched to their identities in Active Directory, so access is provisioned, updated, and revoked in real time.

Logisense runs the money — the ledgers, invoices, budgets, and payments — and every one of those actions is taken by a person with a login. Active Directory is where those people and their access actually live: who is employed, what team they belong to, and what they are allowed to do. The two systems rarely share customers or transactions, but they share the one thing that governs both — the user. When that overlap is maintained by hand, a departed employee keeps finance access for weeks and a new hire waits on a ticket to get any.

Stacksync keeps Contact, Package and Service, Account Service, Usage in Logisense aligned with Devices, Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units in Active Directory, field by field and in real time. A person added, moved, or deactivated on the identity side updates their matching user in the finance system within seconds, with the role or permission set mapped from the group they belong to. Direction is yours to set: lead provisioning from the directory, or let an HR-owned finance record drive the downstream accounts.

For a finance team, that alignment is an audit control rather than a convenience. When the user list in the books matches the identity source of truth, segregation-of-duties and access reviews start from data that is already correct instead of an export that was current last quarter.

Common use cases

  • 01 Act on Payment Status Updated webhooks to update entitlements or dunning status in an operational database in near real time.
  • 02 Write new signups from a product database into LogiSense as Accounts with the correct Package and Account Services.
  • 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 user roster across both systems

People, their status, and their contact details stay matched between Logisense and Active Directory, so the finance system's login list reflects who actually works here instead of drifting out of date.

Group and role membership drives finance permissions

A person's group or role in Active Directory maps to their permission set in Logisense, so who can approve, post, or view is governed from one place instead of maintained twice.

Access reviews backed by live data

Because the user list in Logisense matches the identity source in Active Directory in real time, access certifications and SOX-style reviews start from current membership rather than a stale spreadsheet.

What you can sync between Active Directory and Logisense

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 Logisense objects How this pairing syncs
Directory roles Admin role assignments (directoryRole); read for access reviews and least-privilege governance. Package and Service Product catalog of offerings and their chargeable services (one-time, recurring, usage-based); read for reporting or written from a catalog source. Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Package and Service to Logisense — 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. Account Service Billable line item of a Package assigned to an account; written when provisioning or changing a subscription, read for entitlement checks. Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Account Service to Logisense — 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. Usage Metered usage records fed to the rating engine and classified by Usage Class and Unit; written in from product or warehouse event data. Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Usage to Logisense — 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. Invoice Generated billing documents with items, history, and status; typically read out to ERPs and warehouses for finance and reconciliation. Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Invoice to Logisense — 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. Payment Payment records whose status changes emit webhooks; read for cash reconciliation and to drive dunning and provisioning workflows. Users is specific to Active Directory and Payment to Logisense — 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. Extension Attribute Custom fields on entities via Extension/Attribute/Entity; discoverable so field mappings extend to org-specific data. Groups is specific to Active Directory and Extension Attribute to Logisense — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Active Directory and Logisense

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 Logisense 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 Logisense through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Logisense Active Directory Sub-second propagation

DetectionLogisense notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhook event subscriptions push near-real-time notifications on record status changes (e.g.

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.
  • Logisense: No publicly documented fixed request cap; JWT access tokens are short-lived, and high-volume usage is ingested through mediation feeds rather than per-record API writes.

How the Active Directory and Logisense 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
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
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.

Logisense

Integration surface
REST API (versioned, e.g. v9/v10)
Authentication
JSON Web Token (JWT) bearer tokens obtained via the API and refreshed before expiry
Change detection
Webhook event subscriptions push near-real-time notifications on record status changes (e.g. Payment Status Updated), with a Webhook Monitor for retries; entities without webhook coverage are polled via filtered REST queries
Capabilities
