Hello,
I've implemented a matrix that shows a heirarchical organisation structure, with details at the end e.g.
Each organisations correspond to a logged-in entity e.g. I could log in as Org 2 and would only see my data. However, because the hierachy is flattened (as per the power BI way of handling heirarchies), I can also see Org 1.
What I want to see is a matrix that's only relevant to the logged in entity and below, in this case excluding Org 1 and starting from myself, Org 2:
The tables are modelled as you'd expect
Org (flattened)
Main Data
Nb. In the actual implementation of this, there are up to 10 levels in the hierarchy.
For your reference.

RLS is already implemented - the hierarchical data is flattened so if a level 3 entity logs in, we'll still see their level 1 and 2 parents. I'm looking into a completely different design in the meantime, whereby level 1 would always represent the logged in entity (no matter what level they actually are in the hierarchy) but this is a lot of work and redesign.
