How to set as default unique selection the first row of the slicer, due to row level security

Hi Guys, I have a slicer with unique selection, in that slicer appears new ships for example :

01. ShipA
02.ShipB

but in other day could appear new Ship and that ship is shown at the begining in the slicer :

01.ShipC
 02.ShipA
03.ShipB

and this is control by row level security that filters those ships. How can I select the new ship as default selection, because now I have been selected it manually but when a role is different show a ship selected that doesn't belongs to it? Is there any trick to do it ? Thank you in advance guys foryour support.

Hi @Anonymous ,

I'm afraid not. RLS will only restrict data access for given users. Filters restrict data at the row level. For slicers, if you have selected slicers before enabling RLS, the status of slicer will retain and you need to click it manually to eliminate.

You can refer this similar issue:

@Anonymous , if it controlled by RLS, I doubt you can default.

Lets say that I have Role 1 (ShipA,ShipB)and Role 2(ShipC)

When I published the report the slicer is selected with ShipA with unique selection, but when a user from Role 2 see the report He see ShipA selected but when all data in blank  and Ship C, is there a way to avoid showing the one selected in first place.
