Unable to Create RLS | Emergency |

I have created a new report using the DataSet's of 3 reports which is already published in Servise. I just connected this these 3 datasets by direct query method directly from Service.  due to this method i was unable to create new roles in PBI Desktop aswell unable to modify the existing roles. If i publish the report the error showing as " you have to create rls in Desktop" but In Desktop there is no option for creating the RLS. Can anyone suggest me a solution to create RLS.
In Service;

The current connection to your dataset Amazon Redshift is Direct Query.

It is either you change to import so you will be able to configure RLS or open a ticket to the support team 🙂

Mam, I just taken the 3 Dataset's of 3 reports allready published in Power BI Service, and i combined those 3 datasets into single one and created a new Report. So for this new report the DataSource should be PBI Service ( cloud ), right ?

Here the issue is i think, the 3 datasets i taken is through direct query mode from the already published reports, so the Manage Roles option is not enabled for me. ( Please refer the screenshots ive shared )
 What to do now ?

 

And the datasets available on PBI Service are coming from where ?

Mam, The DataSource for the 3 dataset's is Amazon Redshift.

 

Mam whether creating Dynamic RLS option would solve this issue ???
