Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Front
Keep the users, groups, and profile details that Front and Azure Active Directory share consistent in real time, so who can work in Front always matches who your directory in Azure Active Directory says belongs there.
Azure Active Directory is where a company records who its people are: their accounts, the groups and roles they hold, and the attributes attached to each one. Front 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 Tags, Teammates, Channels, Conversations in Front with Groups, Group memberships, Applications, Service principals in Azure Active Directory 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 Write CRM account tier, owner, and renewal data into Front contact and account custom fields so it shows next to the conversation.
- 02 Keep Front contacts and accounts aligned with CRM contacts and accounts in both directions.
- 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
Provision access when someone joins
A user added to Azure Active Directory, or moved into a group inside it, gets the matching account or membership created in Front, 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 Azure Active Directory, their account in Front 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 Azure Active Directory and Front
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 | Front objects | How this pairing syncs | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | Tags Labels applied to conversations; drive routing and category-level analytics. | Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Tags to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. | |
| Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. | Teammates Agents; used for ownership mapping and workload reporting. | Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Teammates to Front — 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. | Channels Connected addresses (email, SMS, chat); define where messages originate and send from. | Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Channels to Front — 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. | Conversations The central threaded unit that messages, comments, and tags attach to; synced for support analytics. | Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Conversations to Front — 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. | Messages Inbound and outbound emails, chats, and SMS within a conversation; read out for response-time reporting. | Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Messages to Front — 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. | Comments Internal team notes on conversations; usually read-only in syncs. | Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Comments to Front — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Front
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 Front 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 Front through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.
Front Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionFront notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Application webhooks and rule-triggered webhooks, with the events endpoint available for polling.
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.
- Front: Request limits vary by plan.

FAQ
Azure Active Directory and Front integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Active Directory and Front: authenticate both systems, choose the objects to sync (such as Azure Active Directory's Users and Groups), map fields visually, and changes propagate both ways in milliseconds — no code required.
-
Common patterns for Azure Active Directory and Front: Provision access when someone joins; Close access when someone leaves; Keep profile attributes current. A user added to Azure Active Directory, or moved into a group inside it, gets the matching account or membership created in Front, so a new hire can start working without a separate setup ticket.
-
Azure Active Directory: Microsoft Graph REST API (v1.0). Authentication: OAuth 2.0 via the Microsoft identity platform using an Entra ID app registration; app-only (client credentials) or delegated flows, with directory scopes such as User.ReadWrite.All and Group.ReadWrite.All requiring tenant admin consent. Front: REST API (Core API). Authentication: OAuth authorization via the Stacksync UI ("Connections" > "create new connection" > "Front" > "Authorize") — no coding required. Stacksync manages authentication, retries, and rate limits on both sides.
-
Front: Docs do not state change-detection mechanism, sync directions, or write-back specifics for Front. Azure Active Directory: Change is tracked with Microsoft Graph delta query: deltaLink tokens return only modified User and Group properties and mark deletions with an @removed annotation; unused delta tokens eventually expire and force a full resync. Stacksync's field mapping accounts for these differences between Azure Active Directory and Front 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 Front 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 Front connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Azure Active Directory–Front integration in-house.
