Power BI RS January 2026 – Reports Using RLS Enter Infinite Reload Loop

Hello mrusu,

If a report in Power BI Report Server uses Row-Level Security (RLS) and a user is not assigned to any role, the user cannot access the dataset because no RLS filter context can be applied.

In previous builds this typically returned an access error. In the January 2026 release (15.0.1120.122), it appears the UI may enter a reload/spinning loop instead of showing the error when a user has no RLS role.

Check the report’s Manage → Row-level security settings and ensure the user or an AD group they belong to is assigned to a role.

Microsoft documentation for RLS in Power BI Report Server:
https://learn.microsoft.com/power-bi/report-server/row-level-security-report-server

In short, the loop occurs when the user has no RLS role assigned; adding the user or group to a role should resolve access.
