Logging on data level (after Row Level Security)

Hi all,

I have implemented row level security on my reports and I would like to log these (filter) actions for audit reasons. The situation:

 

Alice views a report being signed in with her email.

Row level security filters out what Alice is allowed to see based on her email using USERPRINCIPALNAME() and an "autorisation"  tabel which has a relation with the data.

 

I want to log the query (and email & datetime) which provides the data Alice will see. Is there a way to get this information?

Greetings!

= VAR CurrentUser = USERPRINCIPALNAME() VAR CurrentFilter = [RLS Filter Measure] INSERT INTO LogTable (Email, Query, Timestamp) VALUES (CurrentUser, CurrentFilter, NOW())
 

This approach will allow you to log the query used by the RLS filter, as well as the email and date and time of access, for each time the report is accessed.

Hi DataSlayer,

thanks for the response, I believe this is exactly what I need. However I do not know how and where to implement this expression. Cloud you show me?
