    No, you don't need to create a parameter. USERNAME() is a build-in function to return the "domain\username" of accessing user.

    In this scenario, you can create a Table filter DAX expression in Manage Role like below:

     

    IF (
    LOOKUPVALUE ( Table[IsUserHasAccess], Table[UserName], USERNAME () ) = "Y",
    TRUE,
    FALSE
)
