    Hi Jsola,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

     

    I understand that you're trying to open multiple instances of the same Power BI report with different dataset-level filters, but the filters are being shared across instances. This happens because modifying dataset parameters before generating an embed token applies changes at the dataset level, which affects all report instances. You can use Report-Level Filters instead of Dataset Parameters as rather than modifying the dataset, apply report-level filters dynamically using the Power BI JavaScript SDK. 

     

    I would also take a moment to thank Deku, for actively participating in the community forum and for the solutions you’ve been sharing in the community forum. Your contributions make a real difference.

     

    If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.  

    Best Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your response, Deku  and Anonymous 

I’m considering applying RLS (Row-Level Security) in C# before generating the embed token to filter the data. I believe filtering using the Power BI JavaScript SDK is somewhat insecure, as an advanced user could modify the code in the browser and gain access to restricted data.

 

I’ll give this option a try and let you know how it goes.

 

Many thanks, and have a great weekend!
