Hi,
I  am facing some issue while implementing the RLS for below fact table.

main_fact_table

job_noyear
IT1232023
IT1234672024
IT2352023
IT23452024
IT3452023
IT3342024
IT36472023
IT36542024
IT65842023
IT65742024

 

user_access

user namejob_noyear
souravIT122023
jeetIT62023
kunalIT62024
souravIT32024
jeetIT22023
kunalIT12024
rupamIT32024
rupamIT62023


as i mentioned there is two table.

1)main_fact_table  (this is the main facr table)
2)user_access  (this is the details of user who has access to the perticuler data)

these two table are disconnected table hence they have no relation between them, and we are using the coloumn "job_no" (user_access) to decide the access for a perticuler user but in the "user_access" table column "job_no" dose not contain the full value we need to implement wildcard here for example in user_access  one user named "sourav" has access to the row  job_no in fact table  whose value starts with  "IT12" AND "IT3" so sourav should she all the rows in "main_fact_table" whose "job_no" starts with "IT12" AND "IT3" and corrosponding year also should take in considaration

in this case sourav should see in "main_fact_table" as below shown

job_no

year
IT1232023
IT3342024

Hi  @Anonymous ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

When applying to multiple users, you can replace "sourav" with USERPRINCIPALNAME().

Test =
var _table1=
SUMMARIZE(
    FILTER('user_access','user_access'[user name]="sourav"),
    [job_no],[year])
var _table2=
DISTINCT('main_fact_table'[job_no1])
var _table3=
CROSSJOIN(_table1,_table2)
var _table4=
ADDCOLUMNS(
    _table3,"test",CONTAINSSTRING([job_no1],[job_no]))
var _max=
MAXX(
    FILTER(
       _table4,
        [test]=TRUE()&&[job_no1]=EARLIER('main_fact_table'[job_no1])&&[year]=EARLIER('main_fact_table'[year])),
        [job_no1])
return
IF(
    _max=BLANK(),FALSE(),TRUE())

2. Modeling – Manage roles – Create – [Test].
