Using Active Directory logged user to filter data

[d_vendramini]

Hello everyone, I have three tables:

- Sales (including a field called AgentID)

- ADUsers (picking up from the Active Directory Domain) where my agents are. There's a field called UserEmail.

- UserAgentID which I maintain: it has the AgentID and the UserEmail associated.

There's a relationship between the three of them. I would like to apply dinamically the AgentID filter on the Sales table depending on the AD user logged in PBI Service. How can I achieve this?

For example:

Sales Table

AgentID	Value
123	$ 150
456	$ 200
789	$ 75

ADUsers

UserEmail

john.green@aaa.com

mary.white@aaa.com

tracy.brown@aaa.com

UserAgentID

UserEmail	AgentID
john.green@aaa.com	123
mary.white@aaa.com	456
tracy.brown@aaa.com	789

If john.green@aaa.com logs in, I would like PowerBI to apply the filter "AgentID = 123" automatically in order to show only $ 150.

Many thanks,

Damiano

You need to use Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI. The conditions are set in Desktop mode and then permissions are given in PBI services (cloud). 

Quick and simple to set up. Take a look at the following information. Essentially, you will create locked filters depending on the user accessing the dashboard at the time. 

User A can only see Data with Filter A 

User B can only see Data with Filter B

etc..
