Roll level security (RLS) ia a APP is not working for users with edit permissions in the Workspace
Hi Melvin,
Yes, current RLS only works for read-only permission members and it also not works for owner and admin.
You can refer to below link to know more about this:Using RLS with app workspaces in Power BI
If you publish your Power BI Desktop report to an app workspace within the Power BI service, the roles will be applied to read-only members. You will need to indicate that members can only view Power BI content within the app workspace settings.
Warning
If you have configured the app workspace so that members have edit permissions, the RLS roles will not be applied to them. Users will be able to see all of the data.

I would wish Microsoft will do something about this. Other BI platforms are allowing this feature but not here, which defeats the purpose of having a BI in the first place if the power users are unable to do their own analysis.
The work around is creating dedicated workspace but it's taking up too much effort and not feasbile to do for each specific individual user.
