RLS Not Applying When Added/Saved from Power BI Report Server, but Works After Re-uploading it

Hi Maverik91 ,

You are absolutely right: the behavior you are seeing is consistent with a known limitation in Power BI Report Server. When you use the "Edit in Power BI Desktop" feature directly from the Report Server portal and then save back to the server, the RLS roles may not be properly embedded or refreshed in the report metadata - even though the UI shows them as configured.
To ensure RLS  works correctly on Power BI Report Server(Until the issue got fixed):

 Recommended Workaround is as follows:

Download the .pbix file manually from the Report Server.
Edit it in Power BI Desktop (not via “Edit in Power BI Desktop” from the portal).
Save locally, then upload manually back to the Report Server.

This manual upload correctly triggers RLS enforcement, unlike the “Edit from Server and Save” method, which may skip refreshing RLS bindings due to a known issue.

Thank you.
