    Hi thanks for your response, Yes i understand that would be the easy fix and would work however was wondering about the other way to do it via DAX in which can filter these tables. 

    So if you want the harder to implement solution with worse performance you could probably do something like the following on the 'RUF Contract Bridge' table. 

     

    'RUF Contract Bridge'[Level 4] in CALCULATETABLE( VALUES('Corporate RLS Access'[Level 4]), 'Corporate RLS Access'[Email] = USERPRINCIPALNAME() )

Hi Anonymous,

You can also consider directly using the Dax expression to lookup values from the 'user' mapping table and extract the result to apply the filter on the bridge table. (it can be used without fact relationship)
Then you can set the RLS filter expression on the bridge table let other related tables with 'both' direction relationships enable RLS filters to tables. (notice: you need to ensure the RLS filter table and other table relationships direction are 'both' to expand the filter effects or it will be only enabled RLS on the filter table itself)
