Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Materialize
Land the users, groups, and access events from Azure Active Directory in Materialize 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; Materialize 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 Materialize. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.
Stacksync syncs Applications, Service principals, Directory roles, Devices from Azure Active Directory into tables in Materialize in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Materialize, 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 Bridge streaming sources and non-streaming destinations by materializing joins across both.
- 02 Sync operational CRM or ERP data into Materialize so real-time views stay current without batch loads.
- 03 Reconcile Entra ID Users and assignedLicenses with an ITSM or finance database to audit license allocation and reclaim unused seats.
- 04 Provision and deprovision Entra ID Users and Group memberships from an HR system of record so account enablement follows employment status.
Common sync patterns
Queryable history for audit and compliance
A continuously synced copy in Materialize 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 Materialize 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 Materialize as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a nightly directory export.
What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Materialize
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 | Materialize 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. | Tables User-managed tables that accept INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE from sync pipelines. | Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Tables to Materialize — 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. | Sources Ingestion points (Kafka, Postgres CDC, MySQL CDC, webhook) that feed external data into Materialize. | Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Sources to Materialize — 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. | Materialized Views Incrementally maintained query results that syncs read as continuously up-to-date datasets. | Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and Materialized Views to Materialize — 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. | Sinks Outbound connections that emit view changes to Kafka topics. | Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Sinks to Materialize — 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. | Indexes In-memory arrangements that make view reads fast for serving workloads. | Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Indexes to Materialize — 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. | Clusters Compute pools that isolate ingestion, view maintenance, and serving. | Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Clusters to Materialize — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side. |
How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Materialize
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 Materialize 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 Materialize as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.
Materialize Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation
DetectionChanges in Materialize are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client.
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.

FAQ
Azure Active Directory and Materialize integration FAQ
-
Yes. Stacksync provides a managed, real-time two-way integration between Azure Active Directory and Materialize: 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.
-
Stacksync pricing is usage-based and starts at $1,000/month, including the managed Azure Active Directory and Materialize connectors, real-time two-way sync, monitoring, and support. That replaces building and maintaining a custom Azure Active Directory–Materialize integration in-house.
-
Yes — Stacksync ships production-grade connectors for both Azure Active Directory and Materialize. 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 Materialize: SUBSCRIBE queries stream row-level changes of any view or table to the client. Each detected change propagates to the other side in milliseconds, with field-level conflict resolution and an inspectable event log.
-
On the Materialize side: Sinks, Indexes, Clusters, Connections & Secrets, plus custom fields where Materialize exposes them. On the Azure Active Directory side: Applications, Service principals, Directory roles, Devices. 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.
