    Hi, EDWNW 

    As of now,PowerBI doesn't support  set a default role or an ALL employee role.

    You can  consider adding users to the following groups to set up row level security.

    • Distribution Group
    • Mail-enabled Group
    • Security Group

    For more details ,please refer to this related document.

EDWNW , Just an idea. You can use RLS to control page navigation. So if the user/email is not your access table(Table of RLS, if any) , Then you can display only the landing page. 

 

Refer this video, if you think above idea can work -https://youtu.be/FrEDZZXiit8

Thanks for the video, using RLS for which pages to display is a great idea.

 

However, I still have a roadblock. The issue is with assigning people to the roles in the PowerBI service. If I haven't assigned someone to a role, PowerBI will just give them an error. As my company has tens of thousands of employees, it is not feasible to add everyone to a role and IT wont let me have a PDL with everyone in it.

 

Idealy there would be way to make a default role or an ALL employee role. So if I do not explicity assign someone a role, they fall under the default role.
