object level security
i came across below methods of implementing object level security in power bi , are these right methods which I should use to implement column level security, are there any disadvantages or limitations of below methods? what is the right or appropriate way to implement object level security in power bi?
1. using field parameters

2. using Tableau editor

Hi powerbiexpert22 - Object-Level Security (OLS) controls access to specific tables or columns within a dataset, ensuring users only see the objects they are allowed to access. While Row-Level Security (RLS) restricts rows of data, OLS governs access to metadata-level objects.
Use Tabular Editor to define OLS roles, as this ensures that restricted objects are inaccessible across all tools and scenarios.
Use Field Parameters when dynamic field switching is needed but security is not a concern.Quick reference Below snapshot.
