RLS is working in Power BI Desktop but not in service

Dear Team, 

It's about RLS, i tested the RLS in Power BI Desktop and it's working perfect but not working at all after publishin to Power BI Service.

suppose that Manager will see his team numbers only so when i make the access in the workspace access as "Viewer"  or Member its giving the below message.

and when i change the access to "Contributer" manager can view the whole teams data not only his team. 

Please advise. 

Regards,

Mohsen

Hi @Mohsen_2020 

you have to assign him a role in the Security menu.

Hi @Mohsen_2020 ,

 

RLS only applies to the "Viewer" role. Have you also assigned the user to his corresponding RLS role?
