Latency in Workspace Permission Changes using Test As Role
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.
