Dynamic Visibility of Reports in Power BI APP

I currently have created a landing page that behaves like a directory for all my reports with some logic to filter which report links are visible to users based on RLS assigments and a series of queries and relationships. This is nice because I want some users to sign in and see all the reports the BI team is working on. However, some users should only see a few reports available only to them. Think of it like a hiearchy where if you are an executive in the company you can see all report links, however if you are a salesman you can only see a handful of reports on the landing page menu/directory. 

 

I want to do something similar with a power bi published APP and using the navigation menu. I would like to only show reports to salesman that they have direct access to. I don't want the salesman to see a report in the navigation menu called "who to fire next month" for example or "Last chance recovery numbers before the company goes bankrupt". Those reports should only be visible in the navigation menu by the executive staff. I still want to be able to just publish all reports in a workspace to the app but then have the app filter what is visible based on security groups or some other method.

 

Is there a way to create this dynamic behavior in the navigation menu of a published power bi app? Again I already have RLS and security so people can't see the underlying data. I am hoping there is a way to hide the name of reports altogether in the nav bar on the left if users don't have direct access to the report. 

 

PS: We don't actually have a who to fire report (: That's just an example.

Sufficiently different audiences need to be served by different apps. As long as the "one app per workspace"  restriction is still in place this also means you need to create separate workspaces for your different audiences.

 

Use Shared/Promoted/Certified datasets and/or dataflows to keep the data admin overhead in check.
