    Hi rafal7 ,

    Based on the behavior you describe, this may be due to the permissions assigned to the user or the way the export operation is performed. Note that RLS only restricts data access for users with Viewer permissions. It doesn't apply to Admins, Members, or Contributors.

     

    “Write” permissions on a dataset will give the user access to the entire dataset. You cannot enable users to download datasets in excel based on their RLS permissions, but you can enable them to use the export functionality in the service, and they should not use "Analyze in Excel" because "Analyze in Excel" is used for other purposes and may not follow RLS.
