How does Subscription emails and RLS work together?

[Sanskruti]

Hello,
I have a report in that we have applied RLS on state level and simultaneously I have given access to the report by subscription email. How does it work? Will the user be able to see the filters applied on RLS or will he be able to see everything?

Thank you in advance.

Hi @Sanskruti ,

For Power BI reports, dashboards, or paginated reports that use a dataset with row-level security (RLS), use caution when creating subscriptions for yourself and others. Power BI warns you that the data contains RLS, but customers often scroll past the warning message.

The static image sent in the subscription email displays data based on the owner of the subscription. For this reason, when creating subscriptions, be careful to ensure that confidential information isn't included in the static image. Other than that static image, the report or dashboard itself opens (or not) and displays data based on the user's permissions.
