Filter Selections based on userprincipalname

Hi

I've a slicer that has selection of departments. So, I want to limit selection of departments based on the user logging in.

 

 

UserDepartment
user1@company.comMarketing
user2@company.comSales
user3@company.comCall Center

 

so if the user logging in was user2@company.com, then the user should see in the slicer ONLY Sales.

thanks in Advance

Hi @Anonymous,

I'd like to suggest you refer to Gilbert's blog to know how to use RLS with username, then you can simply create a dynamic role based on the username and it will be interacting with the current user.
