Power BI Service dataset - connection

[davekerby]

Hi,

I'd like my users to use a data model which i've published to a workspace and also includes RLS.

Is RLS applied if a user connects to the data set via Power BI desktop?

Regards

Dave

@davekerby,

Yes, RLS will apply as well.

Ok, however documentation clearly states for the RLS to work the user must only have read access within a workspace. However when a user select the Power BI Service connector in desktop and views the workspaces, the data set doesnt appear. Now i can only assume this is because they only have read access. When i change this to Edit, the user can now see the data set but RLS doesnt seem to apply.

Ideas?

@davekerby,

Alternatively, you may make a copy of a content pack.

Hi,

Please can you explain what you mean by making a copy of the content pack?

Ideally i don’t want to go down the content pack route as they will eventually be deprecated.

@davekerby,

I mean other users can get the content pack you published and then make a copy. As for the app workspace, you may submit an idea.
