@kalhelo ,

 

In your senario, you can build a UPN table and configure dynamic row-level security in your report. For more details, I would suggest you refer to the third-party blog below:

So, for Entities likes Quotes, opportunities, orders ..etc; the ownerid is the current user. I want to let the user see the data he owns. For example I might have Matt, Bob, David as salesperson. I want to let everyone of them see his data only once everyone is opening his report.

 

Thank you
