RLS Page Level Security?

Hi All 

 

i have a report with some data deemed sensitvatve to some users, my model consists of a Fact table and Dim_Person and Dim_Dept tables on the one side 

 

what i want to be able to do (if even possible) is if a user (they will be within AD groups) views a certain report page the Dim Tables will filter down based on thier own Dept, otherwise they can see all data on all other pages

 

 

im sturggling to come up with a solution, have anyone come across this before? or do i need to start duplicating the Dims tables?

 

Thnaks in advance 

 

David

@Anonymous Well, you could take a look at Object Level Security (OLS) or perhaps a Column Level Security approach: Column Level Security - Microsoft Power BI Community

 

Also, I have seen implementations where a summary table is created to display aggregated data. So think, instead of showing numbers down to the department grain, a summary table of the values in the aggregate of all departments.

 

There isn't really RLS for pages per se.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

As @Greg_Deckler  said, I think setting up OLS is a good choice. With OLS, you can restrict access not only to data, but also to sensitive object names.

 

For more details, you can read related blog as below:

If the problem is still not resolved, please point it out. Looking forward to your feedback.


Best Regards,
Henry
