How to provide security to business users for a report which contain highly confidential Data

HI Everyone,

 

Want to know how we can provide security to business users to a report that contains highly Confidential & Sensitive Data.
Only Business users should have access to the report. Everyone else should not access/see any data of the report.

Please Suggest. 

Thanks,

Sreekanth

As far as I'm aware, as long as you administer access to the workspace the report is in and make sure the application admins don't have access to that specific 'highly confidential' workspace then the RLS should govern acess to the model/report and you can still set this on an individual user basis

You would need to add RLS to the data model on Power BI Desktop (if you have a table of users or something equivalent) and then also assigned users to this role in the Power BI Service.  Think of it as two steps, but you can also test the security you create in Power BI Desktop before you publish and assign them in the Power BI Service.
