Hi,
I am a new user of Power BI and I am currently looking into the implementation of Row Level Security (RLS) in Power BI Embedded that is being used by my organisation. I have programmed a few lines at the backend side however there are a few queries I have and need further explanation. I went over the documentation but I felt that it has not been updated as majority of their code deals with methods for Version 2 (V2) of Power BI meanwhile we are using Version 3.
I have programmed the following line of code as our backend is mainly programmed in C#:
var generateTokenRequestParameters = new GenerateTokenRequest(accessLevel: canEdit ? "edit" : "view", null,
identities: new List<EffectiveIdentity> { new EffectiveIdentity(username: "username",
roles: new List<string> { "roleA", "roleB" }, datasets: new List<string> { "datasetId" }) });
However, what I am not able to fully grasp is the bigger picture. Both static and dynamic RLS is very easy to implement in Power BI Desktop but I am not able to connect the dots for the implementation of RLS in Embed Power BI.
1. I am unsure with regards to what next steps should I take. I have gone over the documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/embedded/embedded-row-level-security however I felt it was not very easy to follow and not up to date.
2. What I am not fully grasping is the concept of username, roles and datasets. With the code I have implemented, how do I determine what fields to fill in for the username, roles and dataset parameters.
3. Let's say if I were to implement this code, would it be scalable. Currently we are making a POC for one of the clients and we want to implement this in the long term.
Any help and advise would be wonderful.
Thank You
