Set Default in Combo Box Based on RLS View

Hello,

 

I have a combobox filter in Power BI that contains a list of employee names for the user to select from:

luvagoldenk9_2-1680195022774.png

The Power BI is controlled by row-level security with 2 views:

  • View 1 is able to see all employees with Name A selected first
  • View 2 is used by a Team Lead to see only their specific team's names

Name B and Name D are on Team Red. When the Team Lead for the Red team views the name list, Name B and Name D are displayed but also Name A is shown as it has the selected dot filled in.

 

Is there a way, based on the view, to default the selected dot to the first name on the list? So the Red Team Lead would see only Name B and Name D and Name B would have the selected dot filled in.

 

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

That is not something you can do in Power BI at the moment. If this is important to you please consider voting for an existing idea or raising a new one at https://ideas.powerbi.com

@lbendlin I did not think it was possible but thought I'd inquire here. Will raise an idea on the Ideas site. Thank you for your time and input.
