RLS help!
I have a table "RLS" with two columns Department and User ID. I have a requirement where when a user logs in Power BI service they should only see data related to their department .
Eg [email protected] sees only 1234. this is easy setup a role user ID = Userprincipalname()
My question - when users [email protected] and [email protected] login, they should see all the data in department. i.e rls shouldnt be applied.
| Department | User ID |
| 1234 | [email protected] |
| 1235 | [email protected] |
| All | [email protected] |
| 1236 | [email protected] |
| All | [email protected] |
Hi,
You can create multiple roles in Power BI desktop. So in your example you might want to create the following roles:
- Department: This is where you set up your RLS as specified below. Filter user ID = Userprincipalname()
- All: Create a role that does not contain any filters.
When you publish your report to Power BI service, you can add users [email protected] and [email protected] to the "All" role, and no filters will be applied when they access this Power BI report.
