Why teams connect Auth0 and Firebase

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: Firebase and Auth0 share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Auth0 is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. Firebase holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.

Stacksync syncs Subcollections, Realtime Database Nodes, Authentication Users, Cloud Storage Objects in Firebase with Organizations, Organization Members, Connections, Clients (Applications) in Auth0 field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.

Common use cases

  • 01 Replace one-off Cloud Functions export code with managed, continuous sync.
  • 02 Sync Firestore user and account documents into a CRM so go-to-market teams see live product data.
  • 03 Replicate Roles and Resource Server scopes into a database to audit which Users hold which permissions across every Application.
  • 04 Stream Log Events for logins, signups, and failed authentications into a warehouse for security monitoring and authentication funnel reporting.

Common sync patterns

One profile, kept current

A name, department, email, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so the profile the directory shows and the data the application reads stop drifting apart.

Provision accounts from the source of truth

When a person is added to the employee, member, or customer table in Firebase, Stacksync creates the matching user in Auth0 with the right attributes, so access starts from live data instead of a manual ticket.

Deprovision the moment the record changes

When someone is marked inactive or removed in Firebase, the matching account in Auth0 is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

What you can sync between Auth0 and Firebase

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.

Auth0 objects Firebase objects How this pairing syncs
Connections Identity-provider configs (database, social, enterprise SAML/OIDC); typically read out to inventory how each tenant authenticates. Subcollections Nested collections under documents, typically flattened into related tables during sync. Connections is specific to Auth0 and Subcollections to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Clients (Applications) Registered applications and their metadata under /api/v2/clients; mirrored to a database for app and credential inventories. Realtime Database Nodes JSON tree paths in the older Realtime Database, synced by path. Clients (Applications) is specific to Auth0 and Realtime Database Nodes to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Resource Servers (APIs) API definitions and their scopes; synced so permission catalogs used for access reviews stay current. Authentication Users User accounts read into CRMs and warehouses for customer records. Resource Servers (APIs) is specific to Auth0 and Authentication Users to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Log Events Tenant events (logins, signups, failed logins, admin changes) from /api/v2/logs; read-only, streamed into a warehouse for security analytics. Cloud Storage Objects Files referenced from documents; usually synced as metadata plus URLs. Log Events is specific to Auth0 and Cloud Storage Objects to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Users Core identity records with profile fields plus user_metadata and app_metadata; synced two-way (create, update, delete) via /api/v2/users. Credentials are never returned. Cloud Functions Triggers Server-side hooks that fire on document changes and can push updates outward. Users is specific to Auth0 and Cloud Functions Triggers to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Roles RBAC role definitions and their permissions; synced with a database to audit which users hold which access, and assigned to Users from either side. Firestore Collections Top-level groupings of documents that a sync maps to tables or SaaS objects. Roles is specific to Auth0 and Firestore Collections to Firebase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Auth0 and Firebase

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.

Auth0 Firebase Sub-second propagation

DetectionAuth0 notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge.

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

Firebase Auth0 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebase for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Real-time snapshot listeners on Firestore queries and Cloud Functions triggers on document changes.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Auth0 through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Auth0: Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling.
  • Firebase: Subject to Firestore's documented operation quotas and per-document write throughput limits.

How the Auth0 and Firebase connectors work

Auth0

Integration surface
Management API v2 (REST); Authentication API issues the access token
Authentication
OAuth 2.0 client credentials from a machine-to-machine application; scoped Bearer JWT where each operation needs its own scope (e.g. read:users, create:users, update:users) or returns 403
Change detection
Event Streams and Log Streams deliver near-real-time user.created/updated/deleted and tenant events to a custom webhook or Amazon EventBridge; polling falls back to the Get Users search filtered on updated_at
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Per-tenant limit of about 15 Management API requests/second (bursts to 50) on paid tenants; X-RateLimit-* headers and HTTP 429 signal throttling

Firebase

Integration surface
REST and gRPC APIs, typically accessed through the Firebase Admin SDK
Authentication
Google service account credentials (IAM) for server-side access; Firebase Auth tokens for client contexts
