Row level security: multiple rules on the same table

I have a situation where I need to filter row level security by a couple of different rules. Essentially, I am working with a table that looks something along the lines of this:

 

ID1ID2DataField
10111424
1022125
 212412
103212
 3645

 

I need to implement RLS on the ID1 field, but in cases where the ID1 field is null - I then need to use the ID2 field.

 

I also have a security table with users and the associated ID's that they should see - one which relates to ID1 and another that relates to ID2.

 

I'm attempting to write a DAX expression in the Manage Roles section, but can't get the result that I need. Right now I am able to filter the RLS by only either ID1 or ID2, but not both. 

 

Is there a way that this can be done?

Look into COALESCE.

 

Keep in mind that RLS rules will be applied cumulatively, with the more permissive rules overriding the more restrictive rules.
