Prepare your technical review
Use the worksheets and reference checks to capture record identity, ownership, and the result your business expects.
Implementation reference
Record identity and field ownership
Use these data-model references to describe the records your connection needs. They are planning examples; connector availability and supported operations must be established before implementation.

Record matchingUsers Users
Compare whether Azure Active Directory Users and Microsoft Graph Users describe the same application user or identity in your business.
- Azure Active Directory
- Object support to establish
- Microsoft Graph
- Object support to establish
Record identity
Use the immutable user ID within the tenant or directory. Do not equate an application user with a CRM customer contact.
Field ownership
Identity and application owners approve account lifecycle and access changes; synchronize only approved attributes.
Fields to include
- Source user ID
- Tenant reference
- Account status
- Group references
Record matchingGroups Groups and memberships
Compare whether Azure Active Directory Groups and Microsoft Graph Groups and memberships describe the same group or membership in your business.
- Azure Active Directory

Record identity
Keep group IDs and membership relationships separately from group names.
Field ownership
The access owner controls membership; reporting a group is different from granting its permissions.
Fields to include
- Source group ID
- Member references
- Tenant reference
- Group type
Architecture decision
Choose how to connect your systems
Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Users / Users to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.
Stacksync managed sync
- Best fit
- Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
- Operating responsibility
- Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
- Before you choose
- Check record matching: Use the immutable user ID within the tenant or directory. Do not equate an application user with a CRM customer contact. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.
Native vendor integration
- Best fit
- A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Graph record types.
- Operating responsibility
- Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
- Before you choose
- First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Users / Users, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.
Custom API or workflow
- Best fit
- Consider when Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Graph need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
- Operating responsibility
- Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
- Before you choose
- Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery. Separate reading history from actions that send messages, grant access, or post transactions.
File or scheduled snapshot
- Best fit
- Consider for a one-time Azure Active Directory / Microsoft Graph migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
- Operating responsibility
- Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
- Before you choose
- Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.
Workflow reference
From a business event to the right update
Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.
Application user or identity sync test
Starting event: A change to the selected Users or Users record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Azure Active Directory Users and Microsoft Graph Users. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve tenant and group references and establish a protected administrative-account policy.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.
If it fails: Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.
Group or membership sync test
Starting event: A change to the selected Groups or Groups and memberships record needs a defined result in the other system.
- Start with Azure Active Directory Groups and Microsoft Graph Groups and memberships. Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
- Resolve user and tenant identities before membership changes.
- Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.
Expected result: Test removed membership, nested groups, and equal group names in different tenants.
If it fails: Recompute the approved membership delta before retrying; do not replay an outdated access grant.
Manage approved account changes across Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Graph
Starting event: An approved identity change in Azure Active Directory needs to be reflected in the Microsoft Graph process.
- Identify the tenant and immutable user ID in Azure Active Directory; determine whether Users or Groups and memberships has a legitimate relationship to that user.
- Separate reporting identity context from actions that create users, grant access, or deactivate accounts. Document the approval and effective date before any action.
- Keep identity attributes separate from customer contacts and exclude attributes unnecessary for the process.
Expected result: A rename preserves identity; an unapproved access change is withheld; a future-dated change waits until its approved time.
If it fails: Review current permissions and approval before retrying. A stale event must not restore access that has since been removed.
Production readiness
Test the behavior your business depends on
Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.
Users / Users
Test case
Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.
Expected result
The expected application user or identity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Groups / Groups and memberships
Test case
Test removed membership, nested groups, and equal group names in different tenants.
Expected result
The expected group or membership relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.
Direction and permissions
Test case
Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.
Expected result
Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.
Freshness and reconciliation
Test case
Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.
Expected result
The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.
Failure recovery
Find the cause. Restore the data flow.
Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.
Rejected or repeated application user or identity change
Investigate
Inspect Azure Active Directory Users and Microsoft Graph Users, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.
Rejected or repeated group or membership change
Investigate
Inspect Azure Active Directory Groups and Microsoft Graph Groups and memberships, their IDs, and the destination error.
Next action
Recompute the approved membership delta before retrying; do not replay an outdated access grant.
A record type or update is unavailable
Investigate
Check the Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Graph connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.
Next action
Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.
Source and destination disagree after a retry
Investigate
Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.
Next action
Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.
Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.

FAQ
Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Graph integration FAQ
-
Explore a Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Graph integration with a Stacksync engineer. Stacksync support for Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Graph is not established by the connector documentation reviewed for this page. Start with one record and the update your business needs to identify an implementation path.
-
Confirm two-way support with Stacksync for the records and fields you need in both systems. Access to a vendor API does not confirm that its Stacksync connector supports write-back.
-
Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
-
No. Stacksync documents that pre-existing duplicates are not merged automatically when two-way sync begins. Review the initial dataset and matching plan before enabling it; an empty destination can simplify the first load.
-
Start with one business entity and a stable record ID. Map a small set of editable fields with compatible types, test required values and relationships, then expand after the pilot passes.
-
Check the destination error, field constraints, permissions, and current source value. The Stacksync issues dashboard supports retry and revert; retry reads current source values, so verify the intended record state before acting.
-
Use the current Stacksync pricing page and confirm the supported implementation with the team. Scope the required objects, record volume, update frequency, initial load, and support needs when comparing a managed connector with native or custom development.
-
Start by reviewing Users in Azure Active Directory and Users in Microsoft Graph. Check how these records relate in your workflow, then confirm the actual fields and supported operations. Test record matching and one failed or repeated update before adding more records.
-
Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Users / Users to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.
-
Prepare both accounts, the selected object schemas, stable source and destination IDs, and the expected outcome. Identify the Azure Active Directory account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Identify the Microsoft Graph account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access. Use the pair worksheet to record ownership and acceptance criteria.
