Hi @Cobra77 ,

Please consider the 'Apply security filter in both directions ' in the relationships.

By default, row-level security filtering uses single-directional filters, whether the relationships are set to single direction or bi-directional. You can manually enable bi-directional cross-filtering with row-level security by selecting the relationship and checking the Apply security filter in both directions checkbox. 

 

Refer:

  1. Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI 
  2. How does Row Level Security works when there is a BI-Directional Filter in Power BI/Tabular Model? 
  3. What is “Apply security filter in both directions” (normal vs security filter)?

@Cobra77 , RLS condition should return true or false, I did not get the logic, what you want with those 4 columns, Can you explain that.

Just treat the RLS statement like if the condition at line level

hi @amitchandak 

 

if the user user1@group.com  has rights to account code 10250 for example.
Currently only dimension '04 - Principal 'was filtered.

 

We want that with this code the RLS filters dimensions:

'04 - Principal'[Code] =10250 or 05 - Applicant[Code] =10250 or 02 - Beneficiary[Code] =10250 or 03 - Guarantor[Code] =10250
