Why teams connect Active Directory and Tinybird
Land the users, groups, and access events from Active Directory in Tinybird 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; Tinybird 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 Tinybird. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.
Stacksync syncs Organizational units, Organizational contacts, Users, Groups from Active Directory into tables in Tinybird in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Tinybird, 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 Stream CRM activity such as deals and tickets into Tinybird Data Sources to power customer-facing dashboards.
- 02 Sync order events from an ERP into Tinybird to serve low-latency operational analytics endpoints.
- 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
Access and sign-in analytics
Sign-in and access events from Active Directory land in Tinybird, so security and compliance teams can query who reached what, and when, alongside the rest of the business's data.
Access governance on joined data
Join Active Directory's users and group memberships with HR, product, and usage data already in Tinybird to surface who holds access they no longer need.
Queryable history for audit and compliance
A continuously synced copy in Tinybird gives you a durable, queryable record of identity and access state for access reviews, SOC 2, and audit questions.
What you can sync between Active Directory and Tinybird
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 | Tinybird objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Service principals & applications App registrations and enterprise apps; read-mostly for entitlement and license inventory. | API Endpoints Published Pipe outputs exposed as parameterized HTTP queries; the main read surface. | Service principals & applications is specific to Active Directory and API Endpoints to Tinybird — 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. | Materialized Views Pipes materialized into new Data Sources for pre-aggregation at ingest time. | Organizational units is specific to Active Directory and Materialized Views to Tinybird — 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. | Workspaces Project boundary that scopes Data Sources, Pipes, and tokens for a sync. | Organizational contacts is specific to Active Directory and Workspaces to Tinybird — 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. | Tokens Scoped credentials that control read and append rights per resource. | Users is specific to Active Directory and Tokens to Tinybird — 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. | Data Sources ClickHouse-backed tables that receive ingested rows; the write target for syncs into Tinybird. | Groups is specific to Active Directory and Data Sources to Tinybird — 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. | Pipes Chained SQL nodes that transform Data Sources into query-ready results. | Group memberships is specific to Active Directory and Pipes to Tinybird — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Active Directory and Tinybird
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 Tinybird 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 Tinybird as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Tinybird Active Directory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Tinybird for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Append-oriented ingestion.
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.
- Tinybird: Subject to the platform's ingestion and query rate limits; batch appends where possible.

How the Active Directory and Tinybird 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.

FAQ
Active Directory and Tinybird integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Active Directory and Tinybird: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Active Directory's Service principals & applications and Organizational units), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Tinybird: The Events API accepts NDJSON rows over plain HTTP, which suits high-frequency appends from sync jobs. 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 Tinybird 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 Tinybird records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Active Directory and Tinybird connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Active Directory–Tinybird integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Active Directory and Tinybird. 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 Tinybird: Append-oriented ingestion; reads are pulled by querying published endpoints, no outbound CDC. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
