RLS - Custom message for no access
Hello all,
I would like to know if there is a way to customise an end-user message when a user cannot see the data because of the RLS.
I would like to explain.
Users see all the data at the highest level of granularity, however, during a drill-through, to see the detail, some users will not be able to see the data. When this is the case they see an empty table.
Is it possible to display a custom message, to tell them that they don't have the rights?
Otherwise they may think there is a problem and that no data is displayed.
Thanks in advance for your feedback,
Have a nice day,
Vivien
Hi,
One way to approach this is to create this kind of measure:Measure 25 = if(ISBLANK(MAX('Table 6'[Value1])),"You don't have the access required",blank())
Here I have set up a rls rule to table 6 and when user doesn't have rights to see the data the text in the message is displayed in KPI:When viewing with enough rights the message is blank:
I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

Because I cannot seem to make it work, otherwise, it works fine on the Desktop Power Bi app.Hi,
Dax should work normally, but there is a slight difference in RLS check this article for more details:

For some reason, this does not work for me. The user with no access will instead see that default RLS message bar on top, nothing else in the report. What am I missing here?
