Role level security : Filter Data only on some pages

poli361 — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 13:52:20 GMT

Hello , I want to apply role level security and I want for a role to filter the company only for some pages not for every page .

Is there a way to write DAX so the filter will be applied on some pages only ? Or do you have anything else to suggest?

Thank you a lot in advance!

Hi:

I think you would need to put in a column in your table that groups the specific pages with a common code.

e.g. a column named Include. With yes or no or 1 or 0.

Then you could set up the TRUE/FALSE Filter.

Hi poli361:

Are you talking about the pages in a pbix or a table with page data inside? Do you have a sample that represents what you are asking? Thanks..

Hi:

Row Level Security is about reducing the rows (filtering out) of a table(s). It's not about which pages to display. You can hide pages and name the report accordingly, but RLS isn't intended for page views.

I hope this answers your question.

Thanks..

Hi poli361 ,

Can this meet your requirements?

Did you know you can now selectively show report pages for specific users in Power BI? - Data Analytics | FourMoo and Power BI

This is achieved using a combination of Row Level Security (RLS) and conditional formatting. This makes it a secure way of controlling access for specific users.

Hello and thank you for your suggestion . I have done something similar to this , but this doesn't solve my problem and adds another problem . If you hide the pages , the user in application won't have access but when he export in pdf or powerpoint there is an option to include hidden pages , so then he gain access to those pages I didnt want him to have .
