Dynamic RLS Across Different Columns

I am hoping someone can help me with Dynamic RLS, I work for a Pharmacy group at the Head Office Level and have been tasked with setting up Power BI for our Company. The Data that I need to restrict will be from different columns, For Example:

 

Head Office Staff - Can See ALL Stores

Corporate Store Owner - Can see All Corporate Stores (Not Franchisee stores)

Pharmacist Manager - Can only see the Store/Stores they Manage

Sales Assistant - Can only see the store they work in

 

My Store Data has 3 Columns that the RLS could be filtered by Pharmacy Type, Pharmacy Group, LocationID or LocationCode

 

CorporateGroup4801Location_801
CorporateGroup9802Location_802
CorporateGroup3803Location_803
CorporateGroup1804Location_804
CorporateGroup7805Location_805
CorporateGroup3811Location_811
CorporateGroup5812Location_812
CorporateGroup10816Location_816

 

I have looked at a heap of different examples but I can't seem to find an example where I can see how I would even go about structuring or setting this up. 

 

I have created a sample Data File which may help explain what I am trying to do.

I am quite new to Power BI so any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi , @NAV_81 

You may need to  use USERNAME()/USERPRINCIPALNAME() function to implement dynamic row level security .

Please check  if  the workaround  as described  in this thread helps.

Thanks @amitchandak there are a few articles there I haven't read, but I'm still not sure how I can make this work for me. All of these examples are all filtering from 1 column, where I have 3 possible columns to filter on dependant on who is accessing the data.

 

I think I'm wanting some guidance on how best to set this up, I just can't seem to get me head around it.
