Hi @powerbiexpert22 - Object-Level Security (OLS) controls access to specific tables or columns within a dataset, ensuring users only see the objects they are allowed to access. While Row-Level Security (RLS) restricts rows of data, OLS governs access to metadata-level objects.
Use Tabular Editor to define OLS roles, as this ensures that restricted objects are inaccessible across all tools and scenarios.
Use Field Parameters when dynamic field switching is needed but security is not a concern.
Quick reference Below snapshot.
