Row Level Security not working in App

Hi,

 

I added a Role for "Non Retailer A" users whom I do not want them to a "Retailer A" Geography in reports but they can see all other geographies.

 

[GEOGRAPHY] <> "RETAILER A CORP"

|| [GEOGRAPHY] <> "RETAILER A-CHICAGO"

|| [GEOGRAPHY] <> "RETAILER A-KANSAS CITY"

|| [GEOGRAPHY] <> "RETAILER A-DALLAS"

|| [GEOGRAPHY] <> "RETAILER A-CINCINNATI"

|| [GEOGRAPHY] <> "RETAILER A-SALT LAKE CITY"

 

When I then change my View as Role to "Non Retailer A" users role I am still able to see Retailer A geographies in my slicers and even the data if I select one of the Retailer A geograhies.

 

What am I doing wrong?

@amitchandak - Thank you. The first option worked. Now I need to figure out how to assign users to this group.
