Power BI security
I have a database on sql 2019 for a 3rd party ERP and accounting software
It is working ok but now my users are asking about POWER BI desktop which is free
I have no issue with power bi except for the security , like the user is able to see all data or editing/deleting data
How can i control Power Bi ? control user permissions ?
Ive read about row-level security (RLS) in Power BI desktop but i think it doesn't apply to me
Hi chanklish,
>>i dont want them to be able to see all data or to edit/delete , etc
For the first part, you can take a look at RLS with the username. It can dynamically filter records based on the current user if you create a mapping table in your report and assign roles on the power bi service side.
Solved: RLS with UserName() - Microsoft Power BI Community
For the second part, you can take a look at the following link about managing dataset permission then you can accurately control the users' permissions to operate the report contents.

Hello chanklish ,
For sharing reports with END users and to Implement RLS on Power BI service you will need license.
Please refer below link for costing information-

no i am not asking about this
i want to secure the access to the sql DB that users are accessing with power bi , did you get me ?
I mean i dont want users with power bi to access my data freely , i want to control what they can see and what to do with it
