Test as role "not supported" message for composite model

I have report which uses a composite data model, with a mix between DirectQuery to other Power BI datasets and some imported tables from SQL Server. The model also uses calculation groups, allthough I do not think this is related to the issue.

 

The data model also has RLS, and I can test this in desktop and it works as intended. 

However, when I publish the report to the service and I want to "test as role", I get the following error message.

rls2.PNGrls1.PNG

Is this a bug, or is "test as role" really not supported for a composite model?

Status: Investigating

Hi @daaa ,

 

Please check if SSO is enabled. The Test as role/View as role feature doesn't work for DirectQuery models with single sign-on (SSO) enabled.

 

Through my testing, dq schema connection to sql server data source mixed with import schema of sql server's composite model, RLS takes effect. lc schema connection to power bi dataset then converted to dq schema and then mixed with import schema data source, RLS is not supported.

 

Refer: Row-level security (RLS) with Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

Adding to the noise on this one, please add option! The only way around it currently is to bother an external/ other user to verify it's all kicking in correctly. Problematic when sub-teams are adding their own customisations to the composite, we can't just pull the report back onto a dataset close to source to test it.

Hi all,

 

I have created a copy of this issue on

Since this one seems to be completely ignored.

Same issue here. Why there are so few votes? I think this should be affecting many developers.
