Why teams connect Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics GP

Keep the employee, group, and account records that Microsoft Dynamics GP 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. Microsoft Dynamics GP 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 Microsoft Dynamics GP and their account still being active in Active Directory is a real security exposure.

Stacksync syncs Company Databases, Customers, Vendors, Sales Documents (SOP) in Microsoft Dynamics GP with Service principals & applications, Organizational units, Organizational contacts, Users 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 GP company databases into a warehouse for financial and operational reporting.
  • 02 Sync customers and invoices between GP and a CRM so sales sees balances and billing history.
  • 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

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 Microsoft Dynamics GP

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 GP objects How this pairing syncs
Devices Registered and joined device objects; typically read into a database for inventory and compliance reporting. Vendors Payables master records aligned with procurement and AP automation. Devices is specific to Active Directory and Vendors to Microsoft Dynamics GP — 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. Sales Documents (SOP) Quotes, orders, and invoices created via eConnect from web or CRM orders. Directory roles is specific to Active Directory and Sales Documents (SOP) to Microsoft Dynamics GP — 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. Purchase Orders (POP) Procurement documents reconciled with receiving and vendor systems. Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and Purchase Orders (POP) to Microsoft Dynamics GP — 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. Inventory Items (IV) Item master and quantity data mirrored to ecommerce and planning systems. Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Inventory Items (IV) to Microsoft Dynamics GP — 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. GL Accounts & Journal Entries Financial ledger data replicated to warehouses for consolidated reporting. Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and GL Accounts & Journal Entries to Microsoft Dynamics GP — 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. Receivables & Payables Transactions Open and historical AR/AP transactions read for cash and aging reporting. Users is specific to Active Directory and Receivables & Payables Transactions to Microsoft Dynamics GP — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Active Directory and Microsoft Dynamics GP

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 GP 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 Microsoft Dynamics GP as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Microsoft Dynamics GP Active Directory Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Microsoft Dynamics GP are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SQL Server change tracking or log-based CDC on the company database, or polling on row timestamps.

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 GP 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.
