Powerbi PBIP cannot save RLS (access to \roles is denied)

Hi Anonymous ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community.
I understand that you are facing an issue while saving RLS on your PBIP file. 

Try moving the PBIP project folder to a local, non-synced location, then re-open it in Power BI, make your RLS edits, and see if the save works without error.

As per your statement I can see that the location is under OneDrive, OneDrive syncing might lock or interfere with file access, causing a write permission error.

Right-click the OneDrive icon in the system tray.

Choose "Pause syncing" (for 2 hours or more).

Make and save the RLS changes.

Resume syncing afterward.

Try again by running Power BI Desktop as Administrator and also make sure user account has Full Control on the data source.

If this helped, please mark it as the solution so others can benefit too. And if you found it useful, kudos are always appreciated.

Thanks,
Chaithra E.
