Latency in Workspace Permission Changes using Test As Role

I've got a test PBI Report with Row Level Security enabled - in a workspace.   Yesterday I 'accidently' added a colleague to the workspace as a "Member" - and seconds later - realizing my mistake - ...

What happens when you remove the user from the workspace and add them back as Viewer?

    I've removed the user from the workspace entirely - and the "Test as Role" feature still responds as if this user has "Member" access to the workspace.  (At this point - you would expect the test to fail - since the user no longer has access to the workspace OR dataset).  

     

    If I publish the dataset/report to a new workspace - it operates as expected with this user.   However, if I start to change the permissions of the user in the workspace - again there seems to be a lag on how long those permissions take to reflect in the "Test as Role" functionality.  

     

    Changing the user from Viewer to Member - 'should' remove RLS when using 'test-as-role' for that user.  But it doesn't (at least not in a few minutes).  

     

    It's more a general comment about what 'expectations' we should have when changing permissions in a workspace - and those changes being reflected in the "Test as Role" capability.

      I would upgrade that "comment"  to a "concern".  If you have a Pro license you probably will want to raise a ticket with Microsoft and have them clarify the actual policies.
