    This can be achieved with Row Level Security (RLS). You can create roles according to your requirement and assign it to the users who have access to the dataset. 

    Once the roles are assigned to those users, they will only see their respective data as you would like.

    BigLo @When you create a role and assign it to a user, it is expected that the user has read only access. If the user has edit access on the dataset, RLS will not work.

    Since we give read only permission, the end user will not be able to download the report. Hence he won't be having access to any underlying data.
