Without username can we implement the RLS ?

Hello,


I have custom portal where my all power bi embbed reports are linked and through AD group we are authenticating both the system based on AD groups. Here we are not capturing any user name all the mapping are done on Ad names? How we can implement the dynamic role level security ? 

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

I'd like to suggest you take a look at the following link about use RLS in power bi embedded. (as document said, the username, role, dataset are required in this feature usage, they mapped based on embed token and corresponding Azure AD)

Row-level security with Power BI Embedded#applying-user-and-role-to-an-embed-token 

Spoiler
  • username (mandatory) – A string that can be used to help identify the user when applying RLS rules. Only a single user can be listed. Your username can be created with ASCII characters.
  • roles (mandatory) – A string containing the roles to select when applying Row Level Security rules. If passing more than one role, they should be passed as a string array.
  • dataset (mandatory) – The dataset that is applicable for the artifact you're embedding.
