Hi everyone!
I am currently working on Embedded Power BI and have succesfully implemented Row-Level-Security (RLS) on the backend side. However, after the implementation, I encountered a few doubts and wanted to further clarify.
Let's say in a workspace, we have reports that have RLS implemented and reports that do not have RLS implemented. If I have implemented RLS on the backend code, I know that reports that do not have RLS implemented will not work. How can I structure my backend code that it will support Power BI Reports that have both RLS and no RLS implemented.
I know there is a GetDatasetInGroupAsync() method that returns "a list of datasets from a specified workspace". It also provides a response of "isEffectiveIdentityRequired" which would be True (if RLS is present) otherwise False. I implemented a if-else case using the "isEffectiveIdentityRequired" response however, when many reports with RLS and no RLS are present, the generateTokenRequestParameters and tokenResponse are being overwritten and hence, none of the reports are being displayed.
I have put the code below, I am aware that there is issue with the logic but I am not able to think about any other way.
foreach (var dataset in datasetList)
{
if (dataset.EffectiveIdentityRequired == true)
{
var effectiveIdentity = new EffectiveIdentity(tenant.Id.ToString(), new List<string> { datasetList.ToString() }, new List<string> {"User"});
var generateTokenRequestParameters = new GenerateTokenRequest(accessLevel: canEdit ? "edit" : "view", null, effectiveIdentity);
var tokenResponse = await client.EmbedToken.GenerateTokenAsync(new Guid(workspaceId), report.Id, generateTokenRequestParameters);
}
else
{
// Generate Embed Token for reports without effective identities.
var generateTokenRequestParameters = new GenerateTokenRequest(accessLevel: canEdit ? "edit" : "view", null, null);
var tokenResponse = await client.Reports.GenerateTokenAsync(new Guid(workspaceId), report.Id, generateTokenRequestParameters);
}
It would be very helpful if I can get some support to overcome this problem as I have been stuck on it for a while. If there is any Github Repository for reference also, that would be great.Any help and advise would be wonderful.
