Why teams connect Adobe Sign and Azure Active Directory

Keep the users, groups, and profile details that Adobe Sign and Azure Active Directory share consistent in real time, so who can work in Adobe Sign always matches who your directory in Azure Active Directory says belongs there.

Azure 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. Adobe Sign 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 MegaSign, Users, Groups, Agreements in Adobe Sign with Groups, Group memberships, Applications, Service principals in Azure 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 Create and send an Agreement for signature automatically when a CRM opportunity or database row becomes send-ready, then write the agreement status and signed-document reference back onto that record.
  • 02 Sync completed Agreements and their Agreement Form Field Data into a Postgres warehouse so operations and finance query signer inputs (contract value, effective dates, checkbox selections) in SQL.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Entra ID Users and Group memberships from an HR system of record so account enablement follows employment status.
  • 04 Sync manager, department, and jobTitle from an HRIS back onto Entra ID User attributes to keep dynamic groups and Conditional Access accurate.

Common sync patterns

Mirror group and role membership

Moving a user between groups or roles in Azure Active Directory updates their team, permission set, or seat in Adobe Sign, 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 Adobe Sign ties back to the right identity in Azure Active Directory.

Provision access when someone joins

A user added to Azure Active Directory, or moved into a group inside it, gets the matching account or membership created in Adobe Sign, so a new hire can start working without a separate setup ticket.

What you can sync between Adobe Sign and Azure Active Directory

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.

Adobe Sign objects Azure Active Directory objects How this pairing syncs
Users Account users; provisioned and updated two-way from an HR system or identity provider. Users /users in Microsoft Graph; synced two-way — profile attributes, accountEnabled, and assignedLicenses are read out while provisioning writes (create, update, disable, delete) are pushed back. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Groups Organizational groups that scope sharing and settings; synced from org structure or an IdP. Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
Agreements The core e-signature transaction; created and sent from other systems, then read back for status (out-for-signature, signed, cancelled) and the completed PDF. Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. Agreements is specific to Adobe Sign and Directory roles to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreement Form Field Data Merge fields prefilled at send and values captured from signers; read into a database so contract terms and inputs are queryable. Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. Agreement Form Field Data is specific to Adobe Sign and Devices to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Agreement Events Per-agreement audit trail of every action (viewed, delegated, signed); read-only, synced into compliance stores. Group memberships Member and owner relationships on /groups/{id}/members; added and removed via the $ref endpoint and tracked for changes with delta query on $select=members. Agreement Events is specific to Adobe Sign and Group memberships to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Library Templates Reusable document templates (libraryDocuments); referenced when creating Agreements and synced for template governance. Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. Library Templates is specific to Adobe Sign and Applications to Azure Active Directory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Adobe Sign and Azure Active Directory

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.

Adobe Sign Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation

DetectionAdobe Sign notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks (REST v6 webhook subscriptions) fire near-real-time on agreement events such as created, action requested, completed, and cancelled.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Azure Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Azure Active Directory Adobe Sign Sub-second propagation

DetectionAzure Active Directory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Adobe Sign through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Adobe Sign: Per-user throttling at minute, hour, and day tiers shared between web UI and API traffic; exceeding a tier returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Exponential backoff with jitter is recommended.
  • Azure Active Directory: Resource-unit throttling: roughly 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads on tenants over 500 users, writes near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes; 429 responses include a Retry-After header.
