You can create roles in Power BI Desktop but assigning people to roles is done in the service. See here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-rls#working-with-members

 

It's not filtering for xknd5239@aaa.com since it doesn't know that this user corresponds to the new role you've created.
