hi guys, i encounter a problem and i deeply need your help. i set a row level security in power bi desktop RS and it works fine i test it with "View As". then i publish the report to the report server. from the Manage>Row Level Security i add the user and assign it to the role that i created. but when i see the dashboard with that user, the role does not work. i wonder why it does not work. any comment is appreciated.
