Hi kestlr01 ,

 

Can you please make sure the user is assigned "viewer" role in the workspace?

RLS works only with viewer role/permission.

Anand24 I guess I don't quite understand and maybe I should have mentioned this in the original post. We then publish this report as an app and assign the users access to the app. Only a few users have access to the workspace and the majority of report/APP users/viewers obtain it through the app.

 

It is my understanding that the browser doesn't record any information as it relates to reports in Power BI Service based on this from the security white paper...

 

Do clients cache web page data locally?

When browser clients access Power BI, the Power BI web servers set the Cache-Control directive to no-store. The no-store      directive instructs browsers not to cache the web page being viewed by the user, and not to store the web page in the client's cache folder.

 

So, it is very confusing as to why we would be seeing this behavior.

      Anand24  We are enforcing RLS by publishing an app and dstributing it to users. You don't have to give access to the workspace to enable RLS.
