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
| User1 | Australia | NSW | All | A | 1001 |
| User1 | Australia | QLD | All | A | 1001 |
| User1 | Australia | QLD | All | A | 1002 |
| User2 | All | All | All | B | All |
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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@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()
)
