Power BI RLS with multiple values

Hi all,

 

I am struggling with implementing RLS  across multiple fields/tables when there are multiple records for the same user. 

My security table looks like the following

UserID  Division   Area   Sub  Module Report

User1AustraliaNSWAllA1001
User1AustraliaQLDAllA1001
User1AustraliaQLDAllA1002
User2AllAllAllBAll

 

The field names are all seperate tables in my report and my role statement is as below - 

var _Restriction =
CALCULATETABLE(
VALUES('Security'[Division]),
'Security'[UserID] =USERPRINCIPALNAME()
)
Return
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
_Restriction = "All", TRUE(),
[Division] = _Restriction,TRUE(),
FALSE()
)

the above is applied to all required tables. This works fine when there is only one record for each user but as you can see from the table above, a user can belong to different groups with different access.

How can I implement RLS based on the above table?

@WilliamA I think you need to change 2nd condition:

 

var _Restriction =
CALCULATETABLE(
VALUES('Security'[Division]),
'Security'[UserID] =USERPRINCIPALNAME()
)
Return
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
"All" in _Restriction, TRUE(),
[Division] in _Restriction,TRUE(),
FALSE()
)
