Row Level Security Error

Hi - I am brand new (only one week) using PowerBI.   I mention this because I have read the documentation for RLS, but I don't understand a lot of the terms.  I have setup Roles, imported my users with their roles, mapped the model.  When I test (View As) in the Modeling tab of my report, everything works perfectly:  users are restricted as expected.  However, whenever any of my test users try to access the URL for the dashbaord directly, they all receive the following error:  "Access Denied:  You can't see the content of this report because you don't have permissions to the underlying dataset.   The underlying dataset uses row-level security (RLS).  Contact the dataset owner to review this report:

 

Can anyone help?   Thank you!

Hi @trblenk ,

 

As far as I know, this error should be caused that you didn't manage the role in Power BI Service for RLS.

Please set the role for your users from Workspace>Dataset>Security.

He seguido al pie de la letra estos pasos y funciona como tal, mi pregunta es
¿Los usuarios necesitan tener la licencia Pro también?, en caso de que no, ¿Cuales serían los pasos para que los invitados puedan consultar las visualizaciones?... Gracias!

Generalmente, los usarios tendran que tener una licencia Pro, pero existe una excepcion. Recomiendo que revise la documentacion que habla sobre las caracteristicas por tipo de licencia: https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/power-bi/fundamentals/service-features-license-type

 

(por favor disculpe mi falta de uso de acentos/ortografia)

Thank you - that was it.  Thank you so much!

Thank you!  I will review and try to correct today!
