Request for Enhanced RLS Support in Fabric SQL Endpoint

Dear Microsoft Fabric Product Team,

 

As part of our Tax Reporting MSRA Retirement initiative, we have successfully developed Semantic Models in Microsoft Fabric using FDL shortcut tables. We’ve applied Row Level Security (RLS) at the Semantic Model level to align with our internal data access policies.

We are now exploring ways to expose our Lakehouse SQL Endpoint to power users. However, we’ve encountered a limitation: RLS is currently supported only on Lakehouse tables. Our architecture heavily relies on shortcut tables, delta tables, and views, which do not currently support RLS enforcement at the SQL endpoint level.

This gap restricts our ability to maintain consistent data access controls across reporting layers. We would greatly appreciate:

  1. Support for RLS on shortcut tables and views within the Lakehouse SQL Endpoint.
  2. Guidance or examples from other teams who may have implemented similar access control strategies.
  3. Any roadmap updates regarding RLS expansion to non-native Lakehouse objects.

We believe this enhancement would significantly improve governance and flexibility for enterprise-grade reporting in Fabric.

 

Thank you for considering this request. We’re happy to provide additional context or collaborate on testing if needed.

 

Best regards,
Arif Sheikh
