Post PartisanHow to hide buttons based on user role
Hi All,
I have two roles in Power BI desktop. My requriment is that , from the image below, the toggle button and the Text should be hidden for Role 1 and it should show for Role 2.
Roles:
Role 1:
Role 2:
Can someone please suggest how this can be achieved?
Thank you
Hi POSPOS,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.I have reproduced your scenario in Power BI Desktop and I achieved the expected outcome based on your requirements:
- When RLS_1 user clicks the "Continue" button → they are redirected to Page_Role1.
- When RLS_2 user clicks the "Continue" button → they are redirected to Page_Role2.
This was achieved using:
- Row-Level Security (RLS) to identify the user role.
- A DAX measure to determine the destination page dynamically.
- A button with conditional navigation configured via the Action > Page Navigation > Field value option.
For your reference, I’ve attached the .pbix file that demonstrates this setup end-to-end. You can open it in Power BI Desktop and test it using “View as Role” from the Modeling tab.

Hi POSPOS
You're asking whether a toggle button (like "Department") can be hidden for Role 1 and shown only for Role 2 using RLS.
To clarify: Row-Level Security (RLS) only restricts the data that is visible to users – it does not control the visibility of visual elements like buttons, tabs, or bookmarks.
If you want to show or hide visuals based on roles, you'll need to use DAX-based conditional formatting (like using a measure to control the visibility of a visual via a transparent shape) or manage it via separate report pages and bookmarks, possibly combined with a slicer value filtered by role-specific logic.
