Why teams connect Azure Active Directory and Vertica

Land the users, groups, and access events from Azure Active Directory in Vertica 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; Vertica 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 Vertica. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Devices, Users, Groups, Group memberships from Azure Active Directory into tables in Vertica in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Vertica, 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 Land ERP transactions in Vertica for finance analytics without maintaining hand-built ETL jobs.
  • 02 Push segments or aggregates computed in Vertica back into operational tools such as a CRM.
  • 03 Provision and deprovision Entra ID Users and Group memberships from an HR system of record so account enablement follows employment status.
  • 04 Sync manager, department, and jobTitle from an HRIS back onto Entra ID User attributes to keep dynamic groups and Conditional Access accurate.

Common sync patterns

Directory data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Users, groups, and roles from Azure Active Directory arrive in Vertica as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a nightly directory export.

Access and sign-in analytics

Sign-in and access events from Azure Active Directory land in Vertica, so security and compliance teams can query who reached what, and when, alongside the rest of the business's data.

Access governance on joined data

Join Azure Active Directory's users and group memberships with HR, product, and usage data already in Vertica to surface who holds access they no longer need.

What you can sync between Azure Active Directory and Vertica

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 Vertica objects How this pairing syncs
Groups /groups covering security and Microsoft 365 groups; created, updated, and deleted through Graph, and read into warehouses for entitlement reporting. Flex Tables Schema-flexible tables for semi-structured JSON data landed before modeling. Groups is specific to Azure Active Directory and Flex Tables to Vertica — 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. External Tables Data queried in place on files or object storage without loading. Group memberships is specific to Azure Active Directory and External Tables to Vertica — 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. Schemas Namespaces used to organize synced datasets by domain or source. Applications is specific to Azure Active Directory and Schemas to Vertica — 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. Tables Columnar tables; the primary read and write targets for syncs. Service principals is specific to Azure Active Directory and Tables to Vertica — 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. Projections Sorted, encoded physical copies of table data that the optimizer selects at query time; they affect load and query behavior rather than being addressed directly. Directory roles is specific to Azure Active Directory and Projections to Vertica — 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. Views Logical views used to shape reads for downstream consumers. Devices is specific to Azure Active Directory and Views to Vertica — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Azure Active Directory and Vertica

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

Vertica Azure Active Directory Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Vertica for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. No exposed transaction-log CDC.

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.
  • Vertica: No API rate limits; throughput is bounded by cluster resources, and bulk COPY is preferred over row-by-row writes.
