Hi @powerbiexpert22 ,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

Slicers, bookmarks, and buttons work as expected in embedded Power BI reports users can interact with them just like they would in the Power BI service, no extra code needed. If you want to control them from your app (like setting slicer values), then you’d need to use the Power BI JavaScript API.

RLS (Row-Level Security) also works automatically as long as it’s properly set up in your dataset.

  • If you're using User owns data, Power BI handles RLS based on who’s logged in.

  • For App owns data, you’ll need to include user info in the embed token to make RLS work that part does require some coding.

  1. Do slicers, bookmarks, and buttons work automatically in embedded Power BI?
    Yes, all interactive elements like slicers, bookmarks, and buttons work automatically after embedding. No extra code is needed for basic interactions. But if you want to control them from outside (like setting slicer values via app), then Power BI JavaScript API is required.
  2. Does RLS work automatically in embedded Power BI?
    RLS works automatically only if properly configured in the dataset.
  • For User owns data: it applies based on logged-in user.
  • For App owns data: you must pass user identity in the embed token to apply RLS dynamically.

Thanks,

@powerbiexpert22 Answering your question

  1. Slicers and interactive elements like bookmarks work automatically in embedded Power BI reports by retaining their functionality. Users can make selections, and the report updates dynamically based on those choices without needing extra code.
  2. RLS works automatically if set up, but dynamic RLS requires code to pass user identity via an embed token.
