Embed report within web application with dynamic slicer
Hi folks. Hope everyone is having a good day so far. In our organization, we have a web portal where different sales reps login using their own credentials. In the same portal, we want to show a Power BI report. For that, I searched around and found that Power BI Embedded is the best suitable option. Screenshot for reference:
The option highlighted in red is the only option for us. However, there's one more additional requirement - after login, each sales rep should only be able to access the data relevant to their sales office. Using the login credentials, the web application can determine which office the sales rep belongs to (by running a query against the database). Afterwards, in the embedded report, we want to restrict the data just to that sales office. Is this possible ? Has anyone achieved anything similar to this ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
P.S. : Tagging some of the most knowledgable members. I hope that doesn't offend anyone. If you think that was unprofessional, my apologies. 😅
Hi. It sounds like an RLS solution. Row level security is a Power Bi feature that allows you to create rules for users. Those rules (DAX code) will filter the current model.
You can read more in microsoft doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-rls
That will show how to implement it.
Here you have a second link in case you feel that the first documentation won't work because you have too many sales office to create rules. There are ways to make it dynamic but it might be a little more complex: https://blog.ladataweb.com.ar/post/652895563673649152/powerbi-seguridad-de-filas-rls-con-regla
I hope all of that helps you

Hi ,
I am trying to embed a power bi report with an application based on .net ,sothat when a user logs in he/she can see only his data in the report in that application . I have followed the AppsOwnData Approach and using embedding environment i have downloaded the sample application.
