Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

Thanks for the reply from @lbendlin , please allow me to provide another insight:  

According to my testing and research, if you use PowerPoint’s Add-ins feature to directly embed a Power BI report into a PPT, the first thing to check is the AAD account that the user opening this PPT is logged into in the PowerPoint application. Verify whether this account has been added to the RLS role corresponding to the dataset associated with this report and whether it has read-only permissions for that dataset. In this scenario, RLS will only take effect for end users (consistent with viewing the report in the service workspace). If you haven’t used PowerPoint’s Add-ins feature to directly embed a Power BI report into PPT, RLS won’t be effective because that results in a static report image
