Pass User ID from Report Builder to Store Procedure

Hi; I know there is a Built in fields in Power BI Report Builder to get the logged in Username or User ID. What I need to do is pass the value of User ID to SQL to execute a stored procedure that will bring the correct dataset based on the permissions that user has in the database. Hope someone can suggest a way around this issue

    If you pick the stored procedure option in the dataset properties, then navigate to the parameters settings it should list all the parameters for your stored procedure. 

     

    You can then click the fx button to add an expression and choose the UserID from the Built-in Fields

     

    You will end up with a parameter setting that looks like the following and will pass the UserID value from the paginated report to your stored procedure

      I don't have any query. You asked how to pass a value to a stored procedure and I've showed you the steps to do this. You can put whatever logic you like in the stored procedure based on whatever data you have in your database.
