Why teams connect Active Directory and Dynamics 365 Business Central
Keep the employee, group, and account records that Dynamics 365 Business Central and Active Directory share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.
An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. Dynamics 365 Business Central holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Active Directory controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in Dynamics 365 Business Central and their account still being active in Active Directory is a real security exposure.
Stacksync syncs Vendors, Items, Sales Orders, Sales Invoices in Dynamics 365 Business Central with Directory roles, Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts in Active Directory in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.
That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.
Common use cases
- 01 Replicate GL entries and dimensions into a SQL database for financial reporting without giving analysts ERP logins.
- 02 Sync vendor and purchase order data with procurement or AP automation tools.
- 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
Disable access at offboarding
When a person is marked terminated or inactive in one system, the matching account is disabled in the other within seconds, closing the gap that leaves ex-employees with live access.
Keep profile attributes current
A name, email, title, manager, or department corrected in either system updates the other, so directory entries and employee records don't drift apart.
Align group and department membership
When someone changes team or department, their group or organizational-unit membership updates to match, keeping access tied to their current role.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Dynamics 365 Business Central
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 | Dynamics 365 Business Central objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Organizational contacts Directory contact objects (orgContact); synced for shared address-book and CRM person records. | Vendors Supplier master data synced with procurement and AP automation tools. | Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Vendors to Dynamics 365 Business Central — 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. | Items Product and inventory records aligned with e-commerce and warehouse systems. | Users is specific to Active Directory and Items to Dynamics 365 Business Central — 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. | Sales Orders Order headers and lines created from external channels and read back for fulfillment status. | Groups is specific to Active Directory and Sales Orders to Dynamics 365 Business Central — 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. | Sales Invoices Billing documents synced to CRMs and payment platforms. | Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Sales Invoices to Dynamics 365 Business Central — 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. | Purchase Orders Procurement documents exchanged with supplier-facing systems. | Devices is specific to Active Directory and Purchase Orders to Dynamics 365 Business Central — 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. | General Ledger Entries Posted financial transactions read for reporting; posted entries are immutable. | Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and General Ledger Entries to Dynamics 365 Business Central — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Dynamics 365 Business Central
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 Dynamics 365 Business Central 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 Dynamics 365 Business Central through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Dynamics 365 Business Central Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionDynamics 365 Business Central notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. API webhooks (change notifications on subscribed entities) plus polling on lastModifiedDateTime.
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 Dynamics 365 Business Central 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.
