Rowlevel Security Issue when comparing with parent value?
HI selimovd
yes, that location manager able to see location number and state name. But because of his login both location and state level measure is showing same value.
Thank you.
Hey itsmebvk,
and let me guess, he should see the total of the state, but only the total but no details from other locations?
Best regards

Hey itsmebvk ,
that's a little bit of an issue.
So if you use row level security, then the rows that a person should not see are gone when we is opening the report. This means also the total of a specific row is only the total of what he is allowed to see.
If you want him to only the the total, but no details, then you have to make sure the DAX measures ALWAYS consider the total and he has chance to change the report and for example use the column that you don't want him to see details. This is not security, this is you trying to hide existing information from him.
If the user only has viewer permission and no build permission, then it could work. But if the user ever gets build permisson on the data set or if you or another report creator create a measure that does return details on this column, then he will be able to see everything. So you can try that approach, but this approach is dangerous as you have to make sure he will never be able to see the values.
If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
