RLS - Union of different dimensions / free DAX

Hello friends,

I need to give permission to a user so she coule see Budget[Project]="A" || Region[Country]="USA"

So she would all the data that is either Project = "A" or Country = "USA"

Where and how can I write this DAX expression in Roles Manager?

It is UNION condition (OR ||) with different dimensions but Role Manager combines the restriction from different dimensions as an INTERSECTION (AND &&)

Please help

Thank you 

Michael

Why not set up 2 roles and give her both roles. That should do it

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.

Great! Didn't know it was possible!

I think it'll be easier if they add "free DAX" expression for Role filtering

Thanks Matt!
