Why teams connect Citus and Jumpcloud

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: Citus and Jumpcloud share users, groups, and access in real time, in both directions.

Jumpcloud 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. Citus 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 Sequences, Distributed tables, Reference tables, Local tables in Citus with Policies, Commands, Directory Insights events, System Users (Users) in Jumpcloud 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 Use a Citus cluster as the scalable operational store behind a customer-facing app while syncing summaries back to internal tools.
  • 02 Consolidate per-tenant rows from distributed tables into per-customer reporting databases.
  • 03 Drive Application and Policy assignments from HR attributes or entitlement tables so SSO access and device policies change the moment a role does.
  • 04 Two-way sync User Groups and their memberships between JumpCloud and a source-of-truth database so app, LDAP, and RADIUS access stays aligned with org data.

Common sync patterns

Provision accounts from the source of truth

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

Deprovision the moment the record changes

When someone is marked inactive or removed in Citus, the matching account in Jumpcloud is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

Read users and groups as ordinary tables

Users, groups, and their memberships from Jumpcloud land in Citus as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.

What you can sync between Citus and Jumpcloud

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.

Citus objects Jumpcloud objects How this pairing syncs
Sequences Key generators that matter when external writes must not collide with application inserts. System Groups Device groups used to scope policies, commands, and access; full CRUD via v2 /systemgroups, with systems bound and unbound through association endpoints. Sequences is specific to Citus and System Groups to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Distributed tables Tables sharded across worker nodes by a distribution column; the main sync target for large datasets. Applications (SSO) SAML and OIDC SSO app configs; read via v2 /applications and their user/group assignments created and removed to control who can reach each connected app. Distributed tables is specific to Citus and Applications (SSO) to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Reference tables Small lookup tables replicated to every node, synced like ordinary Postgres tables. Policies Device configuration and MDM policies; read, created from templates, and updated via v2 /policies, then bound to systems and system groups to enforce settings across the fleet. Reference tables is specific to Citus and Policies to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Local tables Coordinator-only tables that behave exactly like standard PostgreSQL tables. Commands Scripts and commands run on managed systems; full CRUD via v1 /commands, then triggered on target systems and groups for automation and remediation. Local tables is specific to Citus and Commands to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Schemas Standard Postgres namespaces used to scope what a sync user can read and write. Directory Insights events Audit stream of logins and admin actions across SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, systems, and MDM; read-only, queried by POST and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Schemas is specific to Citus and Directory Insights events to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated projections over distributed data, often used as read-only sync sources. System Users (Users) Directory user accounts (email, username, attributes, status, MFA, group and app bindings); full CRUD via the v1 /systemusers API - create, update, activate or suspend, and delete to match an HR or identity source. Views is specific to Citus and System Users (Users) to Jumpcloud — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Citus and Jumpcloud

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.

Citus Jumpcloud Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in Citus are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. PostgreSQL logical decoding / CDC, with caveats: changes to distributed tables occur on worker shards, so CDC setup differs from single-node Postgres.

DeliveryEach detected change is written to Jumpcloud through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Jumpcloud Citus Sub-second propagation

DetectionJumpcloud notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. No database-style change log.

DeliveryEach detected change is applied to Citus as a row-level write, with types converted between the two schemas.

Rate-limit considerations

  • Jumpcloud: JumpCloud rate-limits API requests and returns HTTP 429 (Rate limit exceeded) when a client sends requests too quickly; its guidance is to back off and retry at a lower rate. Specific per-minute ceilings are not published, and the Directory Insights API is metered separately. Webhook deliveries are retried three times with exponential backoff on 5xx, 408, or 429 responses.

How the Citus and Jumpcloud connectors work

Citus

Integration surface
PostgreSQL wire protocol; any standard Postgres driver connects to the coordinator node
Authentication
Database credentials (standard PostgreSQL authentication; managed deployments add cloud IAM options)
Change detection

Capabilities

Jumpcloud

Integration surface
JumpCloud REST API - v1 (console.jumpcloud.com/api) for Systems, System Users, and Commands; v2 (/api/v2) for User Groups, System Groups, Applications, Policies, and resource associations; plus the Directory Insights API (api.jumpcloud.com/insights/directory/v1/events) and Webhook Channels for outbound events.
Authentication
Admin API key sent in the x-api-key header (keys are prefixed jca_, generated in the console with a 30-365 day expiry, and disabled for admins by default until enabled); an x-org-id header scopes calls to a single organization for MSP multi-tenant admins. System Context authorization (HMAC-signed) also exists for agent-run calls.
Change detection
No database-style change log. The Directory Insights API is queried by POST for login and admin events across SSO, LDAP, RADIUS, systems, MDM, and directory services - including the association_change event that records user-to-group and policy-to-device membership changes; Webhook Channels tied to Insights Rules POST JSON to a registered endpoint for near-real-time triggers.
