Why teams connect Auth0 and GitHub

Keep the users, groups, and profile details that GitHub and Auth0 share consistent in real time, so who can work in GitHub always matches who your directory in Auth0 says belongs there.

Auth0 is where a company records who its people are: their accounts, the groups and roles they hold, and the attributes attached to each one. GitHub 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 Workflow runs (Actions), Organizations and Teams, Users, Labels and Milestones in GitHub with Resource Servers (APIs), Log Events, Users, Roles in Auth0 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 GitHub issues automatically from records written elsewhere, such as bug reports logged in a CRM case object.
  • 02 Publish release data into customer-communication tools when a new version ships.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Users and Organization Members from an HRIS or CRM — create accounts and assign Roles on hire, delete on offboarding.
  • 04 Replicate Roles and Resource Server scopes into a database to audit which Users hold which permissions across every Application.

Common sync patterns

Provision access when someone joins

A user added to Auth0, or moved into a group inside it, gets the matching account or membership created in GitHub, so a new hire can start working without a separate setup ticket.

Close access when someone leaves

When a user is disabled or removed in Auth0, their account in GitHub is deactivated in step, so offboarding shuts down access everywhere instead of leaving a live login behind.

Keep profile attributes current

A person's name, email, department, manager, or phone number corrected in either system updates the other, so the productivity tool shows the same details the directory holds of record.

What you can sync between Auth0 and GitHub

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 GitHub objects How this pairing syncs
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. Users Author and assignee identities matched to internal directories. Same entity on both sides — records pair one-to-one and field-level changes reconcile in both directions.
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. Organizations and Teams Membership data synced with identity systems and HR directories for access reviews. Roles is specific to Auth0 and Organizations and Teams to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organizations B2B customer tenants under /api/v2/organizations; synced two-way with a CRM or customer database to keep account records aligned with Auth0 orgs. Labels and Milestones Classification fields mapped to statuses and sprints in external trackers. Organizations is specific to Auth0 and Labels and Milestones to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Organization Members Membership records linking Users to Organizations with roles; written to provision and deprovision access as accounts change. Repositories Top-level containers whose metadata and settings syncs read to scope other objects. Organization Members is specific to Auth0 and Repositories to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Connections Identity-provider configs (database, social, enterprise SAML/OIDC); typically read out to inventory how each tenant authenticates. Issues Synced two-way with project trackers and support tools, including labels and assignees. Connections is specific to Auth0 and Issues to GitHub — 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. Pull Requests Review state, status checks, and merge status feed engineering dashboards and workflow tools. Clients (Applications) is specific to Auth0 and Pull Requests to GitHub — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Auth0 and GitHub

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 GitHub 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 GitHub through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

GitHub Auth0 Sub-second propagation

DetectionGitHub notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Webhooks with a broad event catalog covering issues, pull requests, pushes, and releases.

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.
  • GitHub: Authenticated REST requests are limited to 5,000 per hour per user; GitHub Apps scale limits per installation.

How the Auth0 and GitHub 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
