Why teams connect Jumpcloud and TiDB

Close the gap between your application data and your directory: TiDB 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. TiDB 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 Databases, Tables, Views, Columns in TiDB with User Groups, Systems (devices), System Groups, Applications (SSO) 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 Two-way sync between TiDB tables and SaaS tools so operational edits made in either system converge
  • 02 Stream row-level changes to a warehouse or Kafka via CDC for near-real-time analytics
  • 03 Read Systems and System Group memberships into a database for device inventory, patch reporting, and conditional-access analysis.
  • 04 Drive Application and Policy assignments from HR attributes or entitlement tables so SSO access and device policies change the moment a role does.

Common sync patterns

Deprovision the moment the record changes

When someone is marked inactive or removed in TiDB, 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 TiDB as rows your application and queries can join, so authorization checks and access reporting run against the database instead of the directory API.

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.

What you can sync between Jumpcloud and TiDB

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.

Jumpcloud objects TiDB objects How this pairing syncs
Commands Scripts and commands run on managed systems; full CRUD via v1 /commands, then triggered on target systems and groups for automation and remediation. Tables Row data stored in TiKV; the primary unit for reads, writes, and CDC. Commands is specific to Jumpcloud and Tables to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Views Logical views for shaping reads before syncing outward. Directory Insights events is specific to Jumpcloud and Views to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Columns MySQL-compatible types mapped to fields in the paired system. System Users (Users) is specific to Jumpcloud and Columns to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
User Groups User groups that grant app, LDAP, and RADIUS access; created, updated, and deleted via v2 /usergroups, with membership managed through the graph association endpoints. Indexes Secondary indexes that keep incremental sync queries efficient. User Groups is specific to Jumpcloud and Indexes to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Systems (devices) Enrolled macOS, Windows, and Linux machines running the JumpCloud agent; agent-enrolled, so the API reads, updates, and deletes systems for inventory and management rather than creating them. Sequences Server-side ID generation relevant when external systems write rows. Systems (devices) is specific to Jumpcloud and Sequences to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System Groups Device groups used to scope policies, commands, and access; full CRUD via v2 /systemgroups, with systems bound and unbound through association endpoints. Databases MySQL-style schemas addressed by any MySQL-compatible client. System Groups is specific to Jumpcloud and Databases to TiDB — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Jumpcloud and TiDB

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.

Jumpcloud TiDB Sub-second propagation

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

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

TiDB Jumpcloud Sub-second propagation

DetectionChanges in TiDB are captured at the source via change data capture — no polling loop against its API. Log-based CDC via TiCDC, which captures row changes from TiKV and streams them to downstream sinks.

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

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.
  • TiDB: Throughput scales with cluster size rather than fixed API quotas.

How the Jumpcloud and TiDB connectors work

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.
