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 data
Role name = '1677217'
Role name = 'A'
Here is pbix file. please try it.
Best Regards,
Lin
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.
I have the same issue. Did you solve it?
