Hello @kishore23348,

 

You can utilize the Contributor or Owner roles in Power BI service:

  1. Create a new role in your Security Model specifically for the users who need to bypass RLS. Let's call it "Bypass RLS."

  2. Assign the "Bypass RLS" role to the users who should have unrestricted access to the fact model.

  3. In the Power BI service, navigate to the dataset for the fact model. Go to the "Security" and click on "Add Group or User."

  4. Add the users who need to bypass RLS to the Contributor or Owner roles.

Should you require further details or assistance please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
