Build Permission and RLS
Hi GrimReaperX,
Did you work with live connection mode? If that is the case, it should be setting the security filter on your data source side instead of power bi side.
Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn
BTW, RLS roles only work for read permission users, the 'build permission' also provide the 'edit' permissions and the applied RLS effects will be ignored.

just an update.... for anyone who is looking at Build permission with RLS

Using RLS with workspaces in Power BI
If you publish your Power BI Desktop report to a workspace in the Power BI service, the RLS roles are applied to members who are assigned to the Viewer role in the workspace. Even if Viewers are given Build permissions to the semantic model, RLS still applies. For example, if Viewers with Build permissions use Analyze in Excel, their view of the data is restricted by RLS. Workspace members assigned Admin, Member, or Contributor have edit permission for the semantic model and, therefore, RLS doesn’t apply to them. If you want RLS to apply to people in a workspace, you can only assign them the Viewer role. Read more about roles in workspaces.
