Implementing soft RLS in Power BI based on User login

[Anonymous]

Dear All,

I am coming from Tableau world and started working in Power BI . Need  your help for below issue .

My requirement is to display data based on user login in few visuals & in few visuals all the data. So I cannot implement the normal RLS feature .

In one visual need to show the Team's data of User Logged in ,  I have 2 tables ( Users & Tasks Export ) and are joined based on email id .

I am using below DAX formula to achieve this , its not working

RLS User Team Tasks =

// To get the team name from "Users" table based on user login

var CurrentUserTeam=CALCULATE( MAX('Users'[Team ]),'Users'[UserMail]=USERPRINCIPALNAME())

// To filter the 'Task" table using above calculated variable to show only logged in User's team data

var CurrentUserTeamFilter=FILTER('Tasks','Tasks'[Team]=CurrentUserTeam)

return

SWITCH(

        TRUE(),

        SELECTEDVALUE('Tasks'[Team])=CurrentUserTeam, CALCULATE( [#Total Task],CurrentUserTeamFilter),

        BLANK()

)

Upon debugging above DAX  formula second variable is not getting filtered as per expectation , its giving an error "The expression refers to multiple columns . Multiple columns cannot be converted to scalar value " . Can you please let me know if there is any alternative way to achieve this .

If User1 or User4 or User7 logins they need to see below highlighted blue data

Users Table:

Team	User	UserMail
Team 1	User1	User1@cyz.com
Team 1	User4	User4@cyz.com
Team 1	User7	User7@cyz.com
Team 2	User2	User2@cyz.com
Team 2	User5	User5@cyz.com
Team 2	User8	User8@cyz.com
Team 3	User3	User3@cyz.com
Team 3	User6	User6@cyz.com
Team 3	User9	User9@cyz.com

Tasks Table:

Team	User	User Mail	Task ID
Team 1	User1	User1@cyz.com	Task1
Team 1	User4	User4@cyz.com	Task2
Team 1	User7	User7@cyz.com	Task3
Team 2	User2	User2@cyz.com	Task4
Team 2	User5	User5@cyz.com	Task5
Team 2	User8	User8@cyz.com	Task6
Team 3	User3	User3@cyz.com	Task7
Team 3	User6	User6@cyz.com	Task8
Team 3	User9	User9@cyz.com	Task9

Thank you,

Kalyan.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Yes, it is possibile. As you can see from the content I just replied, the visual of the table is also one of the many visuals.😊

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want user 1 to be able to see the information of user 1, user 4 and user 7?
If so, please create the following relationship

Then create the following role

Test result

You will find that the box circled in red is not displayed. 

If you want to display it, you need to create a new table as follows.

Pay attention to the direction of relationships

You can check more details from the attachment.
