Hi there,
Just a quick one. Is it possible or is there a workaround in using RLS in a live connection cube?
Am using a live connection and the entire Modelling Ribbon is greyed out. Any tips to manage roles please?
Thanks
Yomi
Solved! Go to Solution.

Currently you can create roles if you imported the data into Power BI Desktop. If you are using a live connection, you will not be able to configure RLS within the Power BI service. This is defined within the Analysis Services model on-premises.
