Power Bi Report not working with RLS

Hello All,

I created a Power BI Report with RLS, so that the logged in user can see only his records in the report. I tried everything from this link. After validating the role within Power BI service, the report works when i test the data as role. But when I go to the work space and click on the report link it does nor work as expected. It does not filter the recoeds based on logged in user. I tried publishing the report to a SharePoint Online page. It doesnt work there either. Please let me know where i am going wrong.

Hi @Snighdha

 

Try to change the workspace privacy (Edit Workspace option) to "Members can only view Power BI content".

Hi @Snighdha,

 

How did you declare the rule? Could you be more precisely with it by post your table structures and the the formulas you're using?

 

In addition, here is a good article about Dynamic Row Level Security with Power BI. Could you recheck steps to see if it helps? Smiley Happy

Check if users are added to the Role. Then, test the role with the user´s name.

Yes. Users are added to the role and I tested the role with different user's name and it works. PBI3.PNG
