Dynamic grouping based on Logged In User

Hi,

 

I want to use Role based security to group test results dynamically.

I want my users (teachers) to be able to compare their students against the rest as a benchmark. Teachers should be able to see all test scores, but only put names to their own students. Is this possible??

With those 3 tables, I don't think the logged teacher can see the "REST".

 

In my opnion,  to compare current logged teacher's students against the rest, you'll have to duplicate the PowerBIUsers table and aggregate data in QueryEditor, then you'll get total 4 tables, your 3 and the aggregated 1(which doesn't connect to any table of the 3). Then you apply RLS on the PowerBIUsers table so that the logged teacher can see their own students detailed score and also see the aggregated 4th table.

Hi Eric,

Thanks for taking the time to reply, I'm a bit confused by the detail though. Can you clarify what model structure you're suggesting?
