Why teams connect Okta and Supabase

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

Okta 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 JSONB Columns, Database Functions, Storage Object Metadata, Tables in Supabase with Applications, Group Rules, Factors (Authenticators), Policies in Okta 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 Consolidate Supabase project data into a warehouse for analytics while keeping the app database as the system of record
  • 02 Sync application tables in Supabase with the CRM two-way so new signups appear as contacts and sales edits flow back to the app
  • 03 Mirror the System Log into Postgres or a warehouse for security analytics, access reviews, and audit retention beyond Okta's log window.
  • 04 Read Application assignments and Factors into a database to report on who can reach which app and which users have strong MFA enrolled.

Common sync patterns

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 Okta 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 Supabase, the matching account in Okta is disabled within seconds, closing the window between a departure and a login that still works.

What you can sync between Okta 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.

Okta objects Supabase objects How this pairing syncs
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. Database Functions Postgres functions that can transform or validate synced rows. Factors (Authenticators) is specific to Okta and Database Functions to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Policies Sign-on, password, and authenticator-enrollment policies with their rules; read to audit access controls or updated to manage them centrally. Storage Object Metadata File metadata rows that can be joined to synced application data. Policies is specific to Okta and Storage Object Metadata to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
System Log Immutable audit event stream of logins, admin changes, and lifecycle events; read-only, polled by timestamp and used as the change feed and SIEM source. Tables Standard Postgres tables; the primary two-way sync target. System Log is specific to Okta and Tables to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
Devices Registered and managed device records tied to users; read to correlate access with device posture and to feed inventory or conditional-access reporting. Views Read-side projections exposed to outbound syncs. Devices is specific to Okta and Views to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. Schemas Namespaces (public and custom) that scope sync access. Users is specific to Okta and Schemas to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.
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. auth.users Managed authentication users, often mirrored into CRM or support systems. Groups is specific to Okta and auth.users to Supabase — each maps to any object or custom field on the other side.

How changes propagate between Okta 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.

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

Supabase Okta 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 Okta through its API, with automatic retries and rate-limit backoff.

Rate-limit considerations

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

How the Okta and Supabase connectors work

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

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.
