RLS

Hi,

what is the correct answer?  A or D? 

Thanks

 

You have a Microsoft Power BI data model that contains three tables named Orders, Date, and City. There is a one-to-many relationship between Date and
Orders and between City and Orders.
The model contains two row-level security (RLS) roles named Role1 and Role2. Role1 contains the following filter.
City[State Province] = "Kentucky"
Role2 contains the following filter.

Date[Calendar Year] = 2020 -
If a user is a member of both Role1 and Role2, what data will they see in a report that uses the model?

  • A. The user will see data for which the State Province value is Kentucky or where the Calendar Year is 2020. 
  • B. The user will receive an error and will not be able to see the data in the report.
  • C. The user will only see data for which the State Province value is Kentucky.
  • D. The user will only see data for which the State Province value is Kentucky and the Calendar Year is 2020.

@Giada90 My understanding of this is that by design RLS shows the least restrictive when a person is in multiple roles. What this means is if a person is in 2 roles, it will show the combination of both of those roles. So, I'm going with A.
