Error in test as Role RLS Power BI Service

Hello,

For last couple of weeks, I have been getting an error in Power BI service when I try to use the Test as Role 

 

Dataset-->Security-->Row Level Security-->Test as Role . When I try to use an email id, I keep getting the below error.

The RLS seems to work in the Desktop and is functioning as expected but I need to be able to have the test as role as well.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I just tried again now and the test as role is working now. I think maybe something on our end. Thanks all.

Hi @adave 

When you enter email, does it automatically jump out of the optional email address?

If not, are there any users in the organization?

Even as I start typing an email id, it starts to error out. Once I type it, i get the error message that I copied above. It used to work some time back but stopped for about a month now. Yes we have users in the organization.

Hi @adave 


Can you confirm you have got the latest Power BI Desktop version installed?

 

Also without putting in a user does the RLS work as expected?

If it works as expected I would test it with an alternative account to make sure.

Yes, it works as expected but not working when testing. Desktop version is Version: 2.100.684.0 64-bit (December, 2021)
