Need help to implement the Dynamic RLS based on the below scenario.

RLS table --

 

 

Line 1, the user [email protected] has access to region Canada, Country Canada, Category Bikes and for All the Products.

Line 2, the user [email protected] has access to region US, for All the countries, Categories and Products.

 

Fact table --

I want to implement the RLS based on the above scenario. Is it something feasible?

If yes, please guide me on how to implement this scenario.

    Hi MahammadJafar27 

    Try the following measure, remove the rule in user table, and create a new rule in fact table.

    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            RLS,[User] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()&&
            CONTAINSSTRING ( [Region_Type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Region] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Category_type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Category] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Country_type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Country] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Pro_Type], EARLIER ( 'Fact'[Product] ) )
        )
    )=1

     

    Then test it.

     

    Best Regards!

        Hi MahammadJafar27 

        You can try the following solution.

        create four calculated columns in RLS table.

        Region_Type = IF([Region]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Region]),[Region],","),RLS[Region])
        Country_type = IF([Country]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Country]),[Country],","),[Country])
        Category_type = IF([Category]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Category]),[Category],","),[Category])
        Pro_Type = if([Product]="All",CONCATENATEX(DISTINCT('Fact'[Product]),[Product],","),[Product])

        2.Create a table and set it cannot be viewed .

        Table = SELECTCOLUMNS(RLS,"a",[User])

         

        3.Create a measure and put it to the table visual.

        MEASURE =
IF (
    COUNTROWS ( RLS ) = COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
    1,
    COUNTROWS (
        FILTER (
            RLS,
            CONTAINSSTRING ( [Region_Type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Region] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Category_type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Category] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Country_type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Country] ) )
                && CONTAINSSTRING ( [Pro_Type], MAX ( 'Fact'[Product] ) )
        )
    )
)

         

         

        4.Create a RLS named test and input the following code in RLS Table.

        [User] = USERPRINCIPALNAME()

         

         

        5.Test it .

         

        Output

        Best Regards!
