Hi, Yiyi_1989
Based on your description, you want to gain knowledge about RLS, If you are using Live Connection when connecting to the semantic model, you can try the following.
1.When the dataset is built based on Azure Monitor logs, make sure that the underlying datasource supports RLS and that user identifiers are mapped correctly.
2.To define RLS, you need to go to the Power BI service, find the dataset, and configure the security settings. The following are the steps to perform this operation:
Steps: Workspace-->Semantic model-->…-->Security
3.Before distributing the semantic model, please test it to ensure that RLS is configured correctly.

If not
1.When using a live connection to a Power BI dataset, you need to define the RLS in the dataset itself, not in the report.
2.To define the RLS, you need to go to the Power BI service, find the dataset, and configure the security settings, the same as in step 2 above.
3.After setting up the RLS, you can test the role in Desktop to ensure that the security rules work as expected before publishing to the Power BI service.
