    Hi cv77 ,

     

    There is no specific function, but the following solution can be used to solve it.

    It is to count your rows. If the user can't see the data, the count is empty, and no access permission is returned.

    You can create the following measure and put it into a card visual.

     

    Measure = IF(ISBLANK(MAX('username'[username])),"No access","Have access")

     

    Users with access can see the following

    Users without access can see the following

     

     

     

    Best Regards,

Thanks for the response.  Is there a way that I can use that other than on every measure?  I was looking for something that would apply across the report rather than having to write it into every calculation.

    I am not aware of a more global approach - apart from using different reports for different audiences that avoid the issue in the first place.
