    We have republished  the report and re-inserted the user on the workspace.

    Now the security is working fine.

    I think our supplier had fixed the role which likely was not working correctly.

     

    Thanks for your help

Hi thebigwhite ,

 

Is this an Analysis Service live connection?  According to this article, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/admin/service-admin-rls  "You can't define roles within Power BI Desktop for Analysis Services live connections. You need to do that within the Analysis Services model."  

 

Also, when in Desktop and you select "View as Roles" and select the role that this person is in does it work as expected?  Can you confirm that you only have this person in one single role and not conflicting roles?

 

I would appreciate Kudos if my response was helpful. I would also appreciate it if you would Mark this As a Solution if it solved the problem. Thanks!
