Need help - Embedding RLS in GenerateTokenRequestV2Report - BadRequest
Hi JamesMinton ,
With Row Level Security (RLS), the identity you use can be different from the identity of the service principal or master user you're using to generating the token. By using different identities, you can display embedded information according to the user you're targeting. For example, in your application you can ask users to sign in, and then display a report that only contains sales information if the signed in user is a sales employee.
If you're using RLS, you can sometimes leave out the user's identity (the EffectiveIdentity parameter). When you don't use the EffectiveIdentity parameter, the token has access to the entire database. This method can be used to grant access to users such as admins and managers, who have permission to view the entire dataset. However, you can't use this method in every scenario. The table below lists the different RLS types, and shows which authentication method can be used without specifying a user's identity.
Here is the considerations and limitation applicable to each RLS type.
