Hi, @rambalram 

 

The feature dashboard you describe does not have. 

 

A Power BI dashboard is a single page, often called a canvas, that uses visualizations to tell a story. The visualizations you see on the dashboard are called tiles and are pinned to the dashboard by report designers. In most cases, selecting a tile takes you to the report page where the visualization was created. 

 

Dashboards are a wonderful way to monitor your business, to look for answers, and to see all of your most-important metrics at a glance. The visualizations on a dashboard may come from one underlying dataset or many, and from one underlying report or many. A dashboard can combine on-premises and cloud data, providing a consolidated view regardless of where the data lives.

 

A dashboard isn't just a pretty picture; it's interactive and the tiles update as the underlying data changes.

 

For more information about the dashboard, please refer to:

The dashboard feature itself, no. It requires Row Level Security in the dataset itself. The Dashboard Tile will honor those settings, but you have to make the changes in the report, and possibly republish the relevant tiles.
