Best way to implement Row Level Security on the Report Server

[Anonymous]

Hi all

I understand Row Level Security is not currently supported on the Report Server, so what is the best way to implement this?

I've had a scout through various topics on here, even trying the below DAX expression as a measure which I cam across.

filterRLS =

CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Data),
Data[UserName] = USERNAME())

This doesn't work. I find it surprising that Power BI Serivce supports RLS but Report Server does not.

Hi @Anonymous.

We had a similar issue a few months ago and realised the only way to implement Row Level Security was to create a SSAS Tabular Model to do it.

The article below uses a good example as to how it can be done (same way as we implemented it):

Hope this helps.
