Hide elements based on roles (RLS)

[Anonymous]

Is is possible to show/hide an element (such as a text box, or rectangle shape) in a report based on the role of the user? I use row level security and provide an explanation to the data which differs based on the role.

Hi @Anonymous ,

To my knowledge, your requirement could not be realized current.

RLS means filters restrict data access at the row level, if a user has access to a particular row of data, they can see all the columns of data for that row. But elements such as textboxes seem to have nothing to do with data(dataset),right?

If you also want this in power bi, let the power bi community to know this things and give your votes at power bi site's feedback -

Hi @Syndicate_Admin , could you indicate that blog post you wrote about the conditional formatting to hide buttons or cards depending on the role you commented on in this thread?

Thanks a lot!
