RLS is not applying to specific visuals

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with a dashboard where when I try to apply RLS using "View as a role" all visuals change except a card and a donut chart, now the real problem is: This donut chart exists in another page as a tooltip visual and it works fine there. Neither card nor donut chart have calculated measures, they're all vanilla. What could be causing those issues?

Hi @Anonymous ,

It seems that the issue you're experiencing could be related to the interactions between the donut chart and the bar chart. Specifically, if the bar chart has interactions turned off, it won't be filtered by what has been selected in the donut chart.

Another possible reason for the issue could be related to the relationships between the tables in your dataset. You might want to verify that the relationships exist between the tables and that the cardinality properties are correctly set .

As the donut chart works correctly in a tooltip, test the RLS in different contexts (e.g., in a different report, page, or visual type) to see if the issue persists.

While fumbling around I think I found out where the problem is: It might be a relationship issue. Data from the card and donut chart are in table "stores"(this one is cross filtered with the fact table), RLS data is in table "users"(one way with fact table) and the rest of the data is in a fact table (this one is 100% responsive towards the RLS filter). The thing that really puzzles me is that the donut chart updates while in the tooltip visual but only when it is displayed as a tooltip in my other viz page (a hierarchy tree chart using data from fact), in it's original page where it is created it is unresponsive when I apply RLS.
