Dynamic RLS with UserName()/email and multiple Cost Center Responsible
- 7 years ago
Solution 1:
Unpivot the table with cost center and responsible so it will be one line per the combination of cost center+responsible (regardless of level).Since it won't like the many-to-many relationship, keep the current table and add the unpivoted table as a new table and keep the current table as bridge table to maintain the one-to-many relationship. Don't forget to tick the box apply security filter in both directions.
Solution 2:
Change the RLS formula to include a OR statement[Cost Center Responsible] = UserName() || [Country Responsible] = UserName() || RegionalResponsible = UserName() || GroupResponsible = UserName()

Hi Adam, Thanks a lot for a quick and specific response to my problem.
I liked solution 1 and have created unpivot table and use the existing table as a bridge between unpivot table and data table as shown in the picture. The problem is that I cannot apply "security filter in both directions" it's inactive, and this might be the reason that I cannot restrict the access.

Please ignore my message above. I have fixed the problem. In order to have the option active for Security Filter in both Direction, i have to first select the "Both" option in the Cross Filter Direction as shown in the below screen shot.
