    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    For dynamic rls, you cannot assign users to a role within the Power BI desktop. You assign them in the Power BI service. By using the username() or userprincipalname() DAX function and configuring the appropriate relationships.

    [User] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()

     

    Also have you previously defined roles and rules in the Power BI service, if so you will have to recreate them in Power BI Desktop.

     

    For more info, you can read below document:

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and let me know immediately. Looking forward to your reply.


    Best Regards,
    Henry
