Sharing a power bi report as a screeshot

Hi,

 

I have a unique need to share the initial page of a Power BI report as a screenshot with users. When they click on the shared screenshot, it should direct them to the full report on Power BI service. Additionally, users should only see data relevant to their region. Could someone provide a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this?

Hi @Shailaja_PBI 
You can achieve this using a subscription.
As a screenshot the user does not have an RLS, you need to create subscriptions according to the needed filtering by every group to the users.
But after the users click on the link to the report then they will get access only to the data that they are allowed by RLS. 
The guide to creating a subscription is by the link :

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/collaborate-share/end-user-subscribe?tabs=creator

 

The RLS considerations are under "

Considerations and limitations" << "Row-level security (RLS)"

And a good video of how to save filters :

The guide to creating the RLS is here :

Hi @Shailaja_PBI 
This can be done by using power bi subscription (screenshot). and to see the relevent users information try to use with Dynamic row level security (RLS).

Hi again @Shailaja_PBI 
No something that I know.
But maybe the new dynamic subscription option can help.
