I want to be able to assign all users (including new ones) to a default role in RLS. Currently I have to assign each user to the role manually, and update the roles manually when users change. This ...
I agree with this aswell. It should be something like 'User Level Security' where anyone that has not been assigned a role can have their data scoped down by attributes found on the Username () model. For example '[email protected]' accesses the report and has no role assigned. Behind the scenes PowerBI finds my Username () . Option 1. Username () inner joins on my User model by matching Username () -> User.email. All other models are inner joined on User therefore all data is then scoped down by the single entity User that has been matched by Username () . Option 2. Username () itself in AD has fields such as Division, Region or even Role etc and rules can be set (similar to existing RLS Table Filter rules) that utilise the value of these fields. Under Option 2 you might have a rule on the Region table that sets Region.Code = Username () .RegionCode. This way anyone logging in, that has no role assigned could have filters applied based on the User Level Security filters. I'd then simply be able to set my rules by user and expect my 1000+ members to be scoped down based on those rules and their attributes can be managed centrally in AD. This is how it is done in web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails (see the Pundit Gem or CanCan)
