Why teams connect Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics 365
Keep the users, groups, and profile details that Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Active Directory share consistent in real time, so who can work in Microsoft Dynamics 365 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. Microsoft Dynamics 365 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 Cases (Incidents), Quotes, Orders & Invoices, Products, Activities in Microsoft Dynamics 365 with Group memberships, Devices, Directory roles, Service principals & applications 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 cases with external ticketing or product systems so support works one queue.
- 02 Replicate standard and custom Dataverse tables into a warehouse for reporting.
- 03 Read Users, Groups, and directoryRole assignments into a warehouse for periodic access reviews and SOC 2 audit evidence.
- 04 Keep security-group memberships aligned with application entitlement tables so access reflects the right teams as they change.
Common sync patterns
Mirror group and role membership
Moving a user between groups or roles in Active Directory updates their team, permission set, or seat in Microsoft Dynamics 365, 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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 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 Microsoft Dynamics 365, so a new hire can start working without a separate setup ticket.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics 365
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 | Microsoft Dynamics 365 objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organizational units On-prem AD DS containers (LDAP organizationalUnit) used to scope which users and groups a sync includes. | Accounts Company records synced bi-directionally with ERPs, databases, and billing systems. | Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Accounts to Microsoft Dynamics 365 — 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. | Contacts Person records kept consistent with marketing, support, and data-warehouse copies. | Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Contacts to Microsoft Dynamics 365 — 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. | Leads Inbound records enriched and routed from external sources into sales queues. | Users is specific to Active Directory and Leads to Microsoft Dynamics 365 — 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. | Opportunities Pipeline records synced with forecasting, CPQ, and billing systems. | Groups is specific to Active Directory and Opportunities to Microsoft Dynamics 365 — 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. | Cases (Incidents) Support records shared with ticketing tools and product databases. | Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Cases (Incidents) to Microsoft Dynamics 365 — 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. | Quotes, Orders & Invoices Transaction documents reconciled with the ERP or billing source of truth. | Devices is specific to Active Directory and Quotes, Orders & Invoices to Microsoft Dynamics 365 — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics 365
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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Microsoft Dynamics 365 Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionMicrosoft Dynamics 365 pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Change data capture (CDC) via the Dynamics 365 Change Tracking feature.
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.

How the Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics 365 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.

Microsoft Dynamics 365
- Integration surface
- REST API (Dataverse Web API, OData v4); Finance & Operations apps expose a separate OData data-entity surface
- Authentication
- Microsoft OAuth sign-in: user provides the D365 environment URL, signs in with Microsoft credentials, and accepts the Stacksync app (permissions to read CRM data and interact with OData entities)
- Change detection
- Change data capture (CDC) via the Dynamics 365 Change Tracking feature; standard entities have change tracking enabled by default, custom entities require enabling "Track Changes" in Power Apps/Dataverse table properties

FAQ
Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics 365 integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics 365: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Active Directory's Organizational units and Organizational contacts), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Microsoft Dynamics 365: Change tracking returns only rows changed since a delta token, giving integrations an incremental read path without full re-pulls. Active Directory: Microsoft Graph delta tokens for directory objects expire after about seven days; a sync paused longer must reinitialize with a full read. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics 365 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 Microsoft Dynamics 365 records are not retained after a sync operation.
