Row Level Security Error

Hello! I'm having a recurring issue with setting up RLS. When building a new dataset, I can set up RLS without any issues. If I add RLS to a dataset at a later time, I get the following error after creating the roles, changing the Cross filter direction to Both, and then checking "Apply security filter in both directions" I get the following error:

This happens for anyone trying to change the dataset. My only workaround is to recreate the dataset which is not a viable solution. Anyone else running into this? Is there a fix? Help!

Hi @Scott_BI ,

 

Unfortunately, I did some tests and failed to reproduce your issue.

If the problem persists, you could try to create a support ticket. If you have a Pro account it is free.

After testing with my team, this appears to be an issue with the April 2021 update. Since the dataset was updated using the latest release, it doesn't work for anyone trying to set it up. I can't set any RLS on a new dataset, and neither can two of my teammates who are on the April 2021 release. The one person still on the March 2021 release can set up RLS. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
