Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Dremio
Land the users, groups, and access events from Azure Active Directory in Dremio continuously for security analytics, and write computed results back — without building or maintaining a pipeline.
Azure Active Directory is the record of who exists and what they can reach; Dremio is where the business measures everything else. The two overlap on people and their access — the same users, groups, roles, and events that Azure Active Directory governs are what security, compliance, and analytics teams want to query in Dremio. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.
Stacksync syncs Groups, Group memberships, Applications, Service principals from Azure Active Directory into tables in Dremio in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Dremio, such as risk scores or access-review decisions, can be written back to attributes in Azure Active Directory where the identity team acts on them. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than a pipeline you keep alive.
Common use cases
- 01 Publish operational database tables into Iceberg via Dremio so the lakehouse reflects current application state.
- 02 Consolidate data from multiple lake sources through one Dremio semantic layer into a single warehouse target.
- 03 Mirror Applications and Service principals into a database or CMDB to track app ownership and credential expiry.
- 04 Reconcile Entra ID Users and assignedLicenses with an ITSM or finance database to audit license allocation and reclaim unused seats.
Common sync patterns
Queryable history for audit and compliance
A continuously synced copy in Dremio gives you a durable, queryable record of identity and access state for access reviews, SOC 2, and audit questions.
Risk and review results back on the account
Risk scores, anomaly flags, or access-review outcomes computed in Dremio write back to attributes on the matching user in Azure Active Directory, where the identity team can act on them.
Directory data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline
Users, groups, and roles from Azure Active Directory arrive in Dremio as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a nightly directory export.
What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Dremio
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 | Dremio objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Physical datasets Tables and files promoted from sources; the raw data a sync ultimately reads. | Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Physical datasets to Dremio — 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. | Virtual datasets (views) SQL views layering semantics over physical data; the preferred sync target for curated extracts. | Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Virtual datasets (views) to Dremio — 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. | Apache Iceberg tables Lakehouse tables supporting DML and snapshot metadata usable for incremental reads. | Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Apache Iceberg tables to Dremio — 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. | Spaces and folders Namespaces that organize virtual datasets and govern access. | Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Spaces and folders to Dremio — 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. | Reflections Materialized accelerations that make repeated extraction queries cheaper. | Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Reflections to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| 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. | Jobs Query execution records useful for monitoring sync workloads. | Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Jobs to Dremio — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Dremio
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 Dremio 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 applied to Dremio as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Dremio Azure Active Directory Interval-based propagation
DetectionStacksync polls Dremio for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling via SQL.
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.
- Dremio: Bounded by engine capacity and workload management rather than API rate limits.

FAQ
Azure Active Directory and Dremio integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Active Directory and Dremio: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Active Directory's Group memberships and Applications), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Azure Active Directory and Dremio. The connectors handle authentication, schema detection, rate limits, and retries; you configure the sync, and Stacksync operates it.
-
Change detection on Azure Active Directory: Microsoft Graph delta query (deltaLink tokens returning only changed users and groups, with @removed deletions) paired with change-notification webhook subscriptions for near-real-time push. On Dremio: Polling via SQL; Iceberg table snapshots can anchor incremental reads; no consumer-facing change feed. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Dremio side: Reflections, Jobs, Sources, Physical datasets, plus custom fields where Dremio exposes them. On the Azure Active Directory side: Groups, Group memberships, Applications, Service principals. Stacksync auto-detects both schemas and converts types between the two systems.
-
Yes. Each object mapping can be bidirectional or restricted to a single direction (both systems accept writes). Read-only mirrors, one-way pushes, and full two-way sync can be mixed in the same integration.
-
Common patterns for Azure Active Directory and Dremio: Queryable history for audit and compliance; Risk and review results back on the account; Directory data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline. A continuously synced copy in Dremio gives you a durable, queryable record of identity and access state for access reviews, SOC 2, and audit questions.
