Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Supabase

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: Supabase and Azure Active Directory share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Azure Active Directory is the system of record for who people are and what they can reach: users, the groups they belong to, and the applications assigned to them. Supabase holds the operational data those same people show up in, whether an employee or member table that decides who should have an account at all, a customers list, or the rows an application checks before it authorizes an action. The two describe overlapping users and groups, and when a nightly export or a hand-run script is all that connects them, accounts lag joiners and leavers and the application authorizes against a stale picture of who has access.

Stacksync syncs Tables, Views, Schemas, auth.users in Supabase with Applications, Service principals, Directory roles, Devices in Azure Active Directory field by field, in real time, and in both directions. You decide which system owns which fields, with the directory holding credentials and group membership and the database holding the source list of people who should exist at all, and Stacksync keeps every copy consistent, resolving conflicts by rules you set. A person added to a table becomes an account within seconds, a departure disables one just as fast, and the directory's users and groups are always present in your tables as ordinary rows.

Common use cases

  • 01 Push product events captured in Supabase Postgres to marketing tools for lifecycle campaigns
  • 02 Consolidate Supabase project data into a warehouse for analytics while keeping the app database as the system of record
  • 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

Keep group and role membership aligned

A group or role change made in either system updates the other, so the entitlements an application enforces match what the directory grants.

One profile, kept current

A name, department, email, or manager corrected in either system updates the other, so the profile the directory shows and the data the application reads stop drifting apart.

Provision accounts from the source of truth

When a person is added to the employee, member, or customer table in Supabase, Stacksync creates the matching user in Azure Active Directory with the right attributes, so access starts from live data instead of a manual ticket.

What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Supabase

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 Supabase 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. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Users is specific to Azure Active Directory and Views to Supabase — 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. Schemas Namespaces (public and custom) that scope sync access. Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Schemas to Supabase — 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. auth.users Managed authentication users, often mirrored into CRM or support systems. Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and auth.users to Supabase — 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. Row Level Security Policies Row-level access rules that govern what the REST layer exposes. Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Row Level Security Policies to Supabase — 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. JSONB Columns Semi-structured payloads such as event properties or nested objects. Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and JSONB Columns to Supabase — 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. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Database Functions to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Supabase

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 Supabase 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 Supabase as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Supabase Azure Active Directory Sub-second propagation

DetectionSupabase pushes changes as they happen — webhook events backed by change data capture. Log-based CDC via Postgres logical replication, the same WAL feed that powers Supabase Realtime.

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.
  • Supabase: SQL access is bounded by connection limits (pooled connections are provided); the REST layer is subject to the platform's limits.
