Manage Roles Error

Dears

 

In the past, for interest sake, I've created a simple role only as a test. After many changes in my report it seems the syntax built in the past is now broken and doesn't allows me to access the manage roles in order to create a new role.

 

Without the accessibility to the manage roles option I can't delete or create new roles.

 

I know the formula is corrupted, but I wish to know how to manually delete this role? Maybe from the PBI folder in stored in C\Programs??? Any help?

Thank you for your time trying to help.

 

Unfortunately even after the cache clear the error persists.

 

This pop up error appears everytime I click in "Manage Roles" and it doesnt allows me to interact with te created roles.

@rneto ,

 

Do you mean you can't move into "Manage Roles" in power bi desktop? Click File-> Options-> Data load and click clear cache to check if this issue still persists.

@rneto ,

 

This issue should be related to the latest version is incompatible with the old version of power bi desktop. You can download the previous version here.

not solved. 

 

work around was to delete the dataset that was affecting the roles, once this was done I've gain access to the manage roles again and was able to edit and create other roles as usual.

 

Not great but at least worked.
