    pbidummy Security in Power BI specifically know as RLS (Row Level Security) can be achieved in Power BI using either SSAS or RLS feature in Power BI Desktop. Both are a part of pro features and hence PRO version requuired for the same.

    Thanks for the quick reply Bhavesh..it seeme it is a PRO feature. Any idea how do we implenet this in the other free versions.

     

    Share a filtered version of a report - Maybe a report that only shows data for a specific city or salesperson or year. This can be done by creating a custom URL.

    Your browser adds some special characters to represent slashes and spaces, so you end up with:

    app.powerbi.com/groups/me/reports/010ae9ad-a9ab-4904-a7a1-10a61f70f2f5/ReportSection2?filter=Store%252FTerritory%20eq%20NC

     

    Any other way or can we mash the URL, because if we remove the addtional characters, user will have access to everything.

      You can use parameters to alter the URL.
