RLS vs PRO Account
Hi, I created some RLS rules in the dashboard, but I keep seeing all the data. Would you know if for the rules / filters to be applied, everyone needs to have PRO account, or just who created the d...
You're welcome 🙂
Sure thing, let me clarify that.
Assuming you don't have Premium capacity on your tenant, all the users viewing the report would also require a Pro licence. It does not make a difference whether RLS roles are defined on the dataset.
The only way to avoid the report viewers requrining Pro licences would to have Premium capacity on your tenant and allocate the workspace to Premium capacity.

Hi Rafael,
Two points:
- Regardless of RLS, in order for a user to view a report (assuming it has been shared with them one way or another), either the workspace must be assigned to Premium capacity (or be set up as a PPU workspace with all users having PPU licences) or the user must have a Pro licence.
- For RLS filters to be applied, the user must have been assigned to one or more RLS roles for the dataset, and must not have "edit access" to the dataset. This means they cannot have anything higher than Viewer permissions if they have workspace access. If you published the Power BI report yourself, you should have edit access, meaning you will always see unfiltered data.
See RLS documentation here.
