Power BI Security and permissions

I was wondering what is the best way to implement security and permissions in my company.

I have created a workspace  for a sector in my company,

In this sector there is 3 areas and 40 branches.

There is a sector manager, 3 area manager, 40 branch managers and 200 users.

Sector manager should be able to see all 3 areas and all branches.

Area manager should be able to see 1 area and its branches.

branch manager only his branch and each user only his branch.

so my solution is to create rls and use username.

then in workspace i must add all this 250 users one by one?

@giorgiokatr How you break up and utilize workspaces would be up to you, but I typically use them for only the report authors. The users, you can just share dashboards with them and the Row Level Security that you set up on your model/report will work as expected. In this scenario, you can share the dashboard with 1 AAD security group that contains those users and everything just works without you managing permissions in Power BI.
