Object Level Security

Hi

I have a "Revenue" column in my "Table visual", i want to restrict the "Revenue" column access to the end users using "Object level security.

When i restrict the "Revenue" column, entire Table visual is not loading.

 

Note: i have one more role in my Pbix, and for that role i don't want to restrict access to the "Revenue" column. So i can't remove the "Revenue" column from the visual.

Is there a way can avoid this issue?

 

Any help on this is much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi @yodha ,

 

There is no problem with your settings. Object-level security is a measure that hides the entire table, column, or depends on the column. After setting the ols based on a certain role, the corresponding visual will not be displayed in the report, and the visual will only change after the role is switched.
