Why teams connect Firebolt and Okta

Land the users, groups, and access events from Okta in Firebolt continuously for security analytics, and write computed results back — without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Okta is the record of who exists and what they can reach; Firebolt is where the business measures everything else. The two overlap on people and their access — the same users, groups, roles, and events that Okta governs are what security, compliance, and analytics teams want to query in Firebolt. Getting them there usually means a brittle export that runs overnight and hands auditors a snapshot that is already out of date.

Stacksync syncs Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators), Policies, System Log from Okta into tables in Firebolt in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Firebolt, such as risk scores or access-review decisions, can be written back to attributes in Okta 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 Sync CRM objects into Firebolt so customer-facing dashboards reflect recent pipeline changes.
  • 02 Keep dimension tables aligned with source systems while high-volume event data loads through separate batch pipelines.
  • 03 Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.
  • 04 Drive Group Rules and policy assignments from HR attributes so access changes the moment a title, department, or location changes.

Common sync patterns

Directory data in the warehouse, minus the pipeline

Users, groups, and roles from Okta arrive in Firebolt as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a nightly directory export.

Access and sign-in analytics

Sign-in and access events from Okta land in Firebolt, 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 Okta's users and group memberships with HR, product, and usage data already in Firebolt to surface who holds access they no longer need.

What you can sync between Firebolt and Okta

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.

Firebolt objects Okta objects How this pairing syncs
Databases Logical containers holding the tables a sync targets. Users Universal Directory user records with profile attributes, credentials, and lifecycle status (staged, active, suspended, deprovisioned); full CRUD, so users are created, updated, activated, and deactivated to match an HR or identity source. Databases is specific to Firebolt and Users to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Tables Managed columnar tables written with SQL; the main sync destination. Groups Okta groups (OKTA_GROUP, APP_GROUP, BUILT_IN) and their memberships; OKTA_GROUP records and membership are written to drive app and resource access. Tables is specific to Firebolt and Groups to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
External tables References to files in object storage used to stage bulk loads. Applications App integrations (SAML, OIDC, SWA) with per-user and per-group assignments; read and updated to manage which identities can reach each downstream app. External tables is specific to Firebolt and Applications to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Views Curated query surfaces commonly used as sources for reverse ETL. Group Rules Dynamic rules that add users to groups from profile attributes; read and written to automate access based on department, title, or location. Views is specific to Firebolt and Group Rules to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Aggregating indexes Precomputed rollups maintained at write time; incremental loads update them automatically. Factors (Authenticators) MFA enrollments per user (Okta Verify, WebAuthn, SMS, email); read for security-posture reporting and reset when a device is lost or rotated. Aggregating indexes is specific to Firebolt and Factors (Authenticators) to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Engines Compute resources that must be running for a sync to read or write. Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Engines is specific to Firebolt and Policies to Okta — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Firebolt and Okta

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.

Firebolt Okta Interval-based propagation

DetectionStacksync polls Firebolt for changes on an incremental schedule, reading only records changed since the previous pass. Polling.

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

Okta Firebolt Sub-second propagation

DetectionOkta notifies Stacksync of record changes through webhook events. Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time.

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

Rate-limit considerations

  • Firebolt: No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload.
  • Okta: Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.

How the Firebolt and Okta connectors work

Firebolt

Integration surface
SQL over a REST API, with JDBC, Python, and Node.js SDKs
Authentication
Service account credentials (client ID and secret) exchanged for OAuth 2.0 tokens
Change detection
Polling; Firebolt is an analytics destination and does not expose a change feed
Capabilities

Rate limits
No fixed request quota; throughput depends on the engine size attached to the workload

Okta

Integration surface
REST API (Okta Management API, /api/v1) with Event Hooks for outbound events and the System Log API as the change feed
Authentication
SSWS API tokens (Authorization: SSWS {token}) scoped to the creating admin's permissions, or OAuth 2.0 for Okta service apps using a private-key-JWT client-credentials grant with granular scopes (DPoP supported)
Change detection
Event Hooks send an HTTPS POST to a subscribed endpoint on events such as user.lifecycle.create and group.user_membership.add (after a one-time verification handshake); the System Log API (/api/v1/logs) is polled by the since parameter and the next Link header for a near-real-time change feed
Capabilities
read · write · webhooks
Rate limits
Rate limits are enforced per org, per endpoint group, per minute and vary by Okta edition; responses carry X-Rate-Limit-Limit, X-Rate-Limit-Remaining, and X-Rate-Limit-Reset headers and exceeding one returns HTTP 429. The System Log is more tightly limited (about 120 requests/minute) and a separate concurrent-request cap (default 75 in-flight transactions) also applies.
