Alternative to USERELATIONSHIP & CROSSFILTER for RLS
Hello everyone,
I have RLS in my dataset and there are couple of inactive relationships in our dataset. Microsoft document says that USERELATIONSHIP wouldn't work when RLS is applied. We are achieving CROSSFILTER using inactive relationships.
Does anyone have idea for the alternative for USERELATIONSHIP?
Any tip/idea might be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
HI rajulshah,
I think you are misunderstanding with RLS features, it can be worked with 'USERELATIONSHIP' functions.
I think the relationship part which you mentioned is mean the indirectly cross table filter features, it is based on active relationships.
If tables did not exist relationship link to the raw table, the RLS filter not auto-apply to those tables. You need to manually set filters on these inactive relationship tables.Regards,
