DAX Code for Dynamic RLS
sorry, was a bit quick there, you need to write it like this
VAR _t = CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Access_Table'[Access_Required] ), FILTER ( 'Access_Table', 'Access_Table'[User_Email] = USERPRINCIPALNAME () ) ) RETURN IF ( CONTAINS ( _t, 'Access Table'[Access_Required], "National" ) || CONTAINS ( _t, 'Access Table'[Access_Required], "Regional" ), 'dimCompany'[Company] IN CALCULATETABLE ( VALUES ( 'Access_Table'[Company] ), FILTER ( 'Access_Table', 'Access_Table'[User_Email] = USERPRINCIPALNAME () ) ), TRUE () )
Resident RockstarThe sample you provided is a bit short on data, so it is not really suited to see the full effect of RLS. But this how I would set it up
1. Change up the model to look more like a star model:
2. Click on the manage roles-button, and create a role called e.g. all. Then on the tables which are prefixed with dim, add the dax statement which will filter the table according to the access level they have according to Access Table:
3. You can then test your role like this, add the e-mail of the user you want to test for, and click 'OK'
When you publish it to power bi services, you need to go to the Dataset section in the left menu, and for the dataset of your report, click the three dots and find Security. You should have a ad/security group called something like Everyone or All, add this group to the role you have created.
Hi, sorry to be bringing this post back to life.
When publishing the report to PBI Service I understand you have said "You should have a ad/security group called something like Everyone or All, add this group to the role you have created."
Can you provide further information on what you mean by this and what needs to be done? Currently I can see the ALL option but not sure what email I meant to add to that list?
