Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory
Keep the employee, group, and account records that DEAR Inventory and Azure Active Directory share aligned in real time, so a person added, moved, or offboarded in one system shows up correctly in the other within seconds.
An ERP and an identity system describe the same workforce from two angles. DEAR Inventory holds the authoritative record of who works at the company, and often their department, title, manager, and cost center. Azure Active Directory controls the accounts, groups, and access those same people use every day. When the two aren't connected, every hire, transfer, and departure has to be keyed twice, and the window between someone leaving in DEAR Inventory and their account still being active in Azure Active Directory is a real security exposure.
Stacksync syncs Assemblies / Production, Locations, Products, Stock levels in DEAR Inventory with Users, Groups, Group memberships, Applications in Azure Active Directory in real time, with field-level mapping and conflict resolution in place of CSV exports and nightly jobs. A new hire, a department change, or a termination propagates within seconds, and where you want changes to flow both ways — the ERP's org data into the directory, account status back into the ERP — the same mapping handles it.
That matters most at offboarding and audit time. When the directory reflects the ERP's current headcount and org structure, disabling access no longer depends on someone remembering to update a second system, and access reviews start from a roster both sides already agree on.
Common use cases
- 01 Push sale orders from a storefront or CRM into DEAR for fulfillment without manual re-entry.
- 02 Land orders, costs, and inventory movements in a warehouse for margin and stock-turn reporting.
- 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
Keep profile attributes current
A name, email, title, manager, or department corrected in either system updates the other, so directory entries and employee records don't drift apart.
Align group and department membership
When someone changes team or department, their group or organizational-unit membership updates to match, keeping access tied to their current role.
One roster on a shared key
People are matched across both systems on an identifier you choose, such as work email or employee ID, so there is a single accurate list of who is active.
What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory
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.
| Azure Active Directory objects | DEAR Inventory objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. | Assemblies / Production Bill-of-material and production records for light manufacturing workflows. | Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Assemblies / Production to DEAR Inventory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | Locations Warehouses and bins that scope stock levels and fulfillment. | Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Locations to DEAR Inventory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Applications App registrations under /applications; usually read into a database or CMDB for app ownership and credential-expiry tracking. | Products SKU records with pricing, suppliers, and bill-of-material links; the master data most syncs start from. | Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Products to DEAR Inventory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Service principals /servicePrincipals (enterprise apps) plus appRoleAssignments; read for app inventory and access-posture reporting. | Stock levels Per-location availability derived from inventory transactions; read-heavy in storefront syncs. | Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Stock levels to DEAR Inventory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Directory roles /directoryRoles and roleManagement assignments; read for privileged-access reviews, with role-assignment writes where the granted scopes permit. | Sale orders Customer orders through their pick/pack/ship lifecycle; synced with storefronts and CRMs. | Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Sale orders to DEAR Inventory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Devices /devices registered or joined to the tenant; typically read-only into asset and security databases. | Purchase orders Supplier orders and receiving records synced with accounting and planning tools. | Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Purchase orders to DEAR Inventory — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory
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.
Azure Active Directory DEAR Inventory 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 DEAR Inventory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
DEAR Inventory Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionDEAR Inventory notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Polling with modified-since filters.
DeliveryEach detected change is written to Azure Active Directory through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Rate-limit considerations
- 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.
- DEAR Inventory: Subject to the platform's per-account API rate limits.

FAQ
Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Active Directory's Groups and Group memberships), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
DEAR Inventory: DEAR Systems was acquired by Cin7 and the product now operates as Cin7 Core; the API and data model carried over from DEAR. Azure Active Directory: Throttling is metered in resource units, not request counts: a tenant over 500 users allows about 8,000 ResourceUnits per 10 seconds per app for reads, and writes are capped near 3,000 requests per 2.5 minutes per app; over-limit calls return 429 with a Retry-After header. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory 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 Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory records are not retained after a sync operation.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Azure Active Directory–DEAR Inventory integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Azure Active Directory and DEAR Inventory. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
