RLS using an Approver Email Column

Hello All! 

 

I have used RLS at a very base level but I am trying to do a step up. 

 

I have a column within my table called "Approver Email", I would like to apply the RLS so the current user could only see the data in which they are the "Approver Email". I don't want to have to enter each person and their respective email. 

 

I tried the following..I have a very similar "Filter" on a Power App that works swimmingly, but getting some errors here. 

 

 

[Approver Email] = User().Email

 

Any suggestions? Tips? Helpful videos? 

 

I appreciate the help!!

Hi @kayakingaway 

 

What you want is the dynamic RLS in Power BI. You can use userprincipalname(), which always returns the user in the format of their user principal name, username@contoso.com.

 

[Approver Email] = userprincipalname()

 

Here are some blogs for your reference:
