Object Level Security "Reverse" Role
Hi JustDavid
If you have applied built-in restrictions on certain columns, non-HR users won’t be able to access them directly, which can sometimes cause errors in matrix visuals. To avoid this, you can either:
-
Remove the restricted columns from the matrix entirely for non-HR users.
-
Use role-based logic to conditionally display blank (e.g : Restricted) in those columns for unauthorized users.

Hope this helps,
Thank You.-
Hello Davis !
I am glad to help, we all learning here 🙂
With OLS, hidden columns don’t just disappear from the fields pane they’re not addressable at all so any visual or measure that use them will fail for users in the deny role.
OLS is allow by default which means to deny columns to everyone except HR, you must assign a deny role to everyone.
You need an AAD group that includes everyone who uses the report and add it under the dataset security tab and map it to your all employees role.
If you need more help please tell me.
So if I understand you correctly, I have to list all employees except Mary, Jane and John to the 'All Amployee'?
If I were to do that, would these employees be able to see the matrix table that I created, with an exception of the columns that I have hindered them from vieweing?
