RLS and average values

Hello everyone! I have an issue with defining roles for directors of business units in my company and at the same time illustrating in visualizations average values throughout the company for comparison. Power BI applies the role also for the average value so it becomes an equal for the value of  the current business unit. Does the Power BI provides any opportunities to realize both role and average meaning? I will be very greatful for help!

@anastasiav,

 

That's what RLS does. It restricts data access for given users.

We know that but we try to find the way to realize our idea to use restriction only for BU values not average meanings.

@anastasiav,

 

It restricts data at the row level. The total number of rows is reduced.

This is the chart like we need it to be. But here we use filter not RLS.This is the chart like we need it to be. But here we use filter not RLS.When we use RLS like [Business unit] = “711" to restrict access for directors of business unit we get average value equal to business unit measure.When we use RLS like [Business unit] = “711" to restrict access for directors of business unit we get average value equal to business unit measure.
