jirineoral. Sorry for the spam. Have few updates. Let me summarize my approch.

 

Data Source: I have 2 entities in On-Prem SQL Server

  1. Customer (ID, CustomerName, Revenue, Area, Subsidiary, Country)
  2. ManagerPermission (Alias, Email, Country)

Report: Created Report in Power Bi Desktop with "Import" option. Create a new role called "DynamicRLS" with expression on "Customer" entiry.

 

NOT(ISBLANK(LOOKUPVALUE(ManagerPermission[Country],ManagerPermission[Country],[Country],ManagerPermission[Email],USERNAME())))

Published Report to online, but not able to see any data in report as other user. Then I added an security group explicitly to Role (Dataset > Security > Row-Level Security > DynamicRLS). Now, able to view report w/ filtered data, as expected. Thank you for your post, Very helpful.
