It doesn't end! I can create roles in Power BI desktop but it doesn't seem to have any impact in power BI service as the member of a RLS role can still view all data, when I do view as role member it shows me correctly restricted data but when the role member logs in all data is visible. So something somewhere is still broken :(.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I can reproduce the issue like yours. It seems that the created rule in Power BI Desktop will not work in Power BI Service. I will report the issue internally and will keep you updated once I get any feedback.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    If you add group users under the role in Power BI Service, the user must have read-only permission. You will need to indicate that members can only view Power BI content within the group settings.

     

     

    And the dataset owner will see all data in the report.

     

    For more information, please refer to "Using RLS with Groups in Power BI" in this article: Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI (Preview)

      Hi v-qiuyu-msft,

       

      Thank you for having a look.

       

      I created a content pack for the dataset with RLS and shared it with three users each of which have different role membership. There was a group which had common membership but I ensured that the privacy level is read only and yet the users can view all data. Any other ideas?

       

      Thanks,

      Ankit

        I have come to assume that RLS works on report level only and any content pack created using the data with RLS has no RLS itself. Can anyone confirm if this is correct?
