    Hi flopi,

     

    From this article, we can know that 

    You cannot define roles within Power BI Desktop for Analysis Services live connections. You will need to do that within the Analysis Services model.

    Also, per my understanding, the RLS only works when publishing Power BI reports to service, as we need to add members to roles on service site.

     

    You could submit this idea at this page: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas

     

    Regards,
    Yuliana Gu

    we are using RLS for our Pbix files that are in PowerBI Report Server. RLS needs to be in Tabular model with Live connection and its working well.
