Does row level security work with embedded non-directquery mode?

I cannot seem to get row level security to work with my model.

I have data loaded to a .pbix file and the pbix file has been loaded to a workspace collection.

This is not directquery. The data is in the model.

 

Should I expect Row Level Security to work for this scenario?

RLS works regardless import or direct query mode. Check Row level security with Power BI Embedded.

var embedToken = PowerBIToken.CreateReportEmbedToken(this.workspaceCollection, this.workspaceId, report.Id, "User Name", roleList);'

So have you figured out the problem now?

I've not tried it myself, but have you defined the security roles in the model and passed the role through the API call? Is it working for you with direct query or is this the only way you've tried?

 

Best,

Ah, thanks. I think I forgot the role name.

Yes, thank you. I should have just read the manual.
