RLS - Custom message for no access

Hello all,

I would like to know if there is a way to customise an end-user message when a user cannot see the data because of the RLS.

I would like to explain.

Users see all the data at the highest level of granularity, however, during a drill-through, to see the detail, some users will not be able to see the data. When this is the case they see an empty table.

Is it possible to display a custom message, to tell them that they don't have the rights?
Otherwise they may think there is a problem and that no data is displayed.

Thanks in advance for your feedback,

Have a nice day,

Vivien

Hi, 

One way to approach this is to create this kind of measure:

Measure 25 = if(ISBLANK(MAX('Table 6'[Value1])),"You don't have the access required",blank())

Here I have set up a rls rule to table 6 and when user doesn't have rights to see the data the text in the message is displayed in KPI:

When viewing with enough rights the message is blank:

Do you know if such approach works on the Power BI Report Server?
Because I cannot seem to make it work, otherwise, it works fine on the Desktop Power Bi app.

Hi,

Dax should work normally, but there is a slight difference in RLS check this article for more details:
