    Hi , EricShahi 

    Hello, for the rls to take effect, the prerequisite is that the current user is a read-only permission, no edit permission. If you have edit permissions (Admin, Member, Contributor in the workspace), you can see all the data for the dataset, and rls is invalidated.

     

    This has nothing to do with you being a tenant administrator. For more information, you can refer to :

    Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

     

    Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI! 

     

    Best Regards,
