Dynamic RLS role creation based on role name

Hi All, 

 

Is it possible to have a dynamic RLS role filter based on the role name itself?

 

So for example:

 

Role name = '1677217'

Table filter:  ID = [Role name]

 

Or

 

Role Name = 'New York'

Table Filter: City = [Role Name] (so New york)

 

 

Thanks,

Raf 🙂

HI, @RafDelgado 

You could try to use conditional that logic as this formula to add a RLS

IF(ISERROR(VALUE(USERNAME())), [City] = USERNAME(), [ID] = USERNAME())

Result:

Basic dataBasic dataRole name = '1677217'Role name = '1677217'Role name = 'A'Role name = 'A'

 

Here is pbix file. please try it.

Hey @v-lili6-msft , 

 

Thanks so much for the reply. 

 

I think I may not have explained it properly, What I would like is something like the below.

But instead of the DAX expression being filtered on the manually typed 16777217, it uses the name of the role instead.

Meaning I could have mutliple roles with different number ids for what I want to filter but not have to go through each table to change the query.
