Solved: Using Power BI for multiple customers

Anonymous · ‎04-16-2022

Hi,

I am a PBI newbie and am wokrking on a SaaS type site where multiple customers will logon to our site. Is it possible to use PowerBI to show individual customers their specific stats and data only? Or would another product be better suited for this time of reporting and analysis?

If all the customers data is in one model you can leverage row level security and role membership to limit the data returned to the users.

If they are in separate models then you would have to change the dataset connection for the reports each customer is looking at to point to their model.

Some resources that should help you get started.
