How to manage view permissions
Hello all,
I have built a report for my company but dont want everyone to be able to view all the tabs in the report. i want the finance people to only be able to see the finance tabs and the execitives and VP's to see everything. is there a way to manage that in BI?
Hi malkha ,
>>I have built a report for my company but dont want everyone to be able to view all the tabs in the report.
If the "tabs" in your words above is referred to "Tables", you may set Row-Level Security (RLS) to manage roles, please see the link Power BI Desktop Dynamic security cheat sheet, which described the detailed steps. Maybe it doesn't work, there are some tips to let it work and test it efficiently.

As of know there is now such type of functionality in RLS to hide the tabs based on roles.
Please vote for the idea in Power BI Ideas Forum page.
As a work-around, please split the report as per the business needs and publish, share the same to the business team.
Note:- For higher management (Executives or VP's) people, you can add them into the workspace as a admin/member.
If you have any queries, please let us know.

If by "tabs" malkha means "pages", then I have a similar situation and I would like to reactivate this thread.
Say I have "splitted" my report (as suggested by v-xicai ) into two different reports so the VPs can access both reports and the Finance team can only access their correcponding report. But because they are both publish within the same app, app permissions share these reports with both user groups which doesn't work for this situation.
What I've done next, is to publish the datasets of the reports in a different workspace, and then publish the reports in the original workspace to share them through the app. This requires me to manage permissions on the datasets (bingo, or so I thought...)
Then in the app, if a Finance user tries to access the report they shouldn't look at for the first time, they get the "Request permissions" message (perfect!). If they come back to the app later and try to do this again, the message doesn't show and instead a grey page appears which doesn't even let them go back to their report...it freezes in a "Loading" message which evetuanlly never dissapears...
Am I doing something wrong? Who can I get this to work?
If I add the links of the reports to te app intead, then it works perfectly well.
Interested to know what the dev team thinks of this,Kind regards
