RLS on composite model with live connection to a dataset

I have a composite model like this: 

A set of tables that come from a Live Connection to a base dataset in Power BI Service (Dim Country in the image), and a single imported table, named RLS, on which RLS rules are to be applied with USERPRINCIPALNAME().

After publishing this report and configuring security on the report's dataset, viewers are getting "Couldn't load the data or this visual" error. 

 

- If I remove RLS rules from the composite model, no errors are given.

- The base dataset, in Live Connection, is in a Premium Workspace and does NOT have any RLS applied.

- Users are consuming the final report from a Workspace app (not sure if relevant).

 

According to this blog post , I needn't worry about giving build permission to users since it's all in a  premium capacity.

I do not want to set RLS on base dataset, as each report I create from it will have a different RLS table.

 

How can I solve this? Thank you for your time.

@bruno_dvs , I think you need to add users to the security of the dataset in the power bi service . Try that out

Hello, @amitchandak. That has already been done. 

After publishing this report and configuring security on the report's dataset, viewers are getting "Couldn't load the data or this visual" error.
