Hey,

 

I'm not sure what you mean by "... stated that this role should not see the the dimension ..."

 

Basically you "just" reduce the rows of a certain table the role can access. If your DAX statement that you use to "restrict" access in such a way that there are no remaining rows. This effect is reflected by your observation

"... the relevant rows ... are gone"

 

The role you can configure in Power BI Desktop does not apply a security context to an object like a table, for this reason the "dimension" (a table) is still visible. Object level security is currently just available in Azure Analysis Services or on prem, unless you use the compatibility level 1400 (on-premises SSAS 2017 is needed): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/analysis-services/tabular-models/object-level-security?view=sql-analysis-services-2017 

 

Hopefully this answers your question.

 

Regards

Tom
