Why teams connect Auth0 and OpenSearch

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: OpenSearch 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. OpenSearch 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 Snapshots, Indexes, Documents, Index aliases in OpenSearch with Log Events, Users, Roles, Organizations 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 Sync product catalogs from an ERP or database into the indexes that back storefront search.
  • 02 Keep Postgres as the source of truth while mirroring rows to OpenSearch for full-text and vector queries.
  • 03 Stream Log Events for logins, signups, and failed authentications into a warehouse for security monitoring and authentication funnel reporting.
  • 04 Sync Organizations and their Connections into a customer database so B2B account records stay aligned with Auth0 tenants.

Common sync patterns

Provision accounts from the source of truth

When a person is added to the employee, member, or customer table in OpenSearch, 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 OpenSearch, the matching account in Auth0 is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Auth0 land in OpenSearch as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.

What you can sync between Auth0 and OpenSearch

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 OpenSearch objects How this pairing syncs
Clients (Applications) Registered applications and their metadata under /api/v2/clients; mirrored to a database for app and credential inventories. Index aliases Stable names over rotating indexes, used for zero-downtime reindex during backfills Clients (Applications) is specific to Auth0 and Index aliases to OpenSearch — 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. Index templates Mapping and settings presets applied to new indexes a sync creates Resource Servers (APIs) is specific to Auth0 and Index templates to OpenSearch — 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. Ingest pipelines Server-side processors that transform documents as they are written Log Events is specific to Auth0 and Ingest pipelines to OpenSearch — 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. Data streams Append-oriented time-series storage for logs and events pushed from source systems Users is specific to Auth0 and Data streams to OpenSearch — 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. Snapshots Backup artifacts, relevant when reseeding an index from a repository Roles is specific to Auth0 and Snapshots to OpenSearch — 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. Indexes The core container; synced records land in indexes with defined mappings Organizations is specific to Auth0 and Indexes to OpenSearch — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Auth0 and OpenSearch

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

OpenSearch Auth0 Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls OpenSearch for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No native change feed.

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.
  • OpenSearch: Throughput bounded by cluster sizing rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Auth0 and OpenSearch 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

OpenSearch

Integration surface
REST API over HTTP(S) with JSON payloads
Authentication
basic authentication with the security plugin, or AWS IAM request signing on Amazon OpenSearch Service
Change detection
no native change feed; reads rely on queries with scroll or point-in-time polling
Capabilities
