Hide Specific Values in a Table
Hello,
I received an challenge to share a performance report to our team but we would like to the user that is opening the report be able to see only his name at the Table, but would be allowed to see the all the results.
Here is an example table with all the results.
If the logged user be [email protected] for example, the desired result should be as follow:
He would be able to see his and all other results, but not the name of the other users.
I have made some attempts with the USERPRINCIPALNAME() funcion, but without success, since we cannot use that funcion in a calculated column to try reach the 0 or 1 value. The logical behind is if the logged user = e-mail then 1 else 0. In this case I could use this 0/1 scenario to change the cell element value based in a function (rule) connected to the logged user.
Does anyone have an idea in how to achieve this? Thank you!
Some ideas.
First of all, RLS cannot achieve this, because in your data, the second row of records belongs to [email protected], the third row belongs to [email protected], but for row-level security(rls), filters restrict data at the row level.
So if you want to use RLS to "hide" other users' names, you need change your datasource like this, then you can use USERPRINCIPALNAME() funcion
this is the first way, or you can use conditional formatting to hide. By this way, you can make other users' names white so they don't appear visually. But in fact other names still exist.
