Security for SSAS imported mode

Hi, I am new to PBI and a little confused about the security issue. I know Row level security supported in SSAS live connection, but I would like to make sure if any security available in import mode...

    Qxi_623 Power BI supports RLS and is applied to your solution in the Desktop. You can read about that here. It should be a very similiar experiance as that of the Tabular Role based application.

      v-sihou-msft While I know what you said is accurate for the report author... did you test the sharing component as well? My understanding of things would lead me to believe that if you just imported data from a SSAS source, the end user would see whatever the report author had permissions to see once content is shared with them. Import seperates the other model validations that are done with live connection... Unless I'm mistaken about something along the way here...

        I think you are right. The problem I having is to have end users seeing restricted data that's different from report author. I know we can use RLS in SSAS for that, but I was asked to figure out how to do via Power bi desktop or service, using import mode. What I know is creating different roles in desktop and use Security in power bi service.........My manager asked if there is any other option since developer could perform security in ssas cube.
