How to hide a field in a table based on RLS

Hello,

 

Imagine that you have imported data, let's say from a SQL Database into a table in Power BI.  Our team members wonder if there is a way to hide one or few columns into the table based on Row Level Security.

 

For example, imagine that we have Table 1 in Power BI with 10 fields.  We would like to permit to person A to see all the fields but to a person B, to see let's say only the 5 last variables.

 

Is there a way to do that?

Regards,

No, not directly. There is no Column Level Security in Power BI. There is a 2 year old UserVoice for it though. Vote for it.

 

There are workarounds that might be able to assist. Check out this blog post on it for example. The real solution though would be for MS to implement it as they have RLS.
