Currently, Power BI Desktop allows the use of both Row-Level Security (RLS) and Object-Level Security (OLS) to manage data access at a granular level. However, when transitioning to Power BI Service, these two security features do not work together seamlessly. This creates limitations for organizations looking to implement a comprehensive and secure data access model across both environments.
Proposed Solution:
I propose that Microsoft consider enabling the simultaneous use of RLS and OLS in Power BI Service, just as it currently works in Power BI Desktop. This integration would allow for more flexible and secure data governance, especially for organizations with complex data security requirements.
Benefit:
Enhanced Data Security: By combining both RLS and OLS, organizations can enforce more granular and nuanced data access policies.
Consistency Across Environments: Ensures that data security configurations are consistent between Power BI Desktop and Power BI Service, reducing the need for workarounds or inconsistencies.
Improved User Experience: Users will be able to leverage the full power of RLS and OLS without facing technical barriers when publishing reports to the Power BI Service.
Conclusion:
Integrating RLS and OLS together in Power BI Service would significantly improve the user experience and allow organizations to maintain robust data security policies seamlessly across both environments.
