Row level security with user email
I have about 20 salespeople user whom I want to share a dashboard that I'm creating in Power BI. I want to use role level security and my data has the user's email in each row. How would I set up a role in Power BI desktop and Power BI online? I don't want to create a role for each user if I don't have to. For 20 salespeople that would seem a lot of work considering that the trunover is big. What are the best practices around this?
Hi iversa,
Yes, I also think dynamic RLS will suitable for your scenario, you can create a role based on username to filter.(you need user table to mapping current user emails and related to other tables to enable filter effect)
After finish setting dynamic role, you can publish your report and assign role to users by security setting(power bi services side) .

I'm guessing that I will need to find a way to do dynamic row level security filtering but is that possible? If so how do I do that?

Xiaoxin ShengHi. I am facing issue with RLS in PowerBI. We have users with multiple email ids in our organization. SO. for e.g. if i give the email id as [email protected], powerbi automatically takes up another email id for the same user such as [email protected]. Because of this user is not able to access the report since powerbi is not taking the email id that i am trying to give. And if i still give my email id, it does not save the rule and throws an error as -
The role could not be updated. Please try again later.
