carlol Most maintainable solution is to use RLS. Would ditch the fancy pop-out menus if it were me although for the bookmarks did you turn off the Data option and so that might be causing it?
Thanks , In SSRS days RLS was the go to option ; I am am advocate of controlling access via tables
*I need to take a look at the Data Option
What got me thinking was the MS Article

Avoid using RLS, whenever it makes sense to do so. If you have only a small number of simplistic RLS rules that apply static filters, consider publishing multiple datasets instead. None of the datasets define roles because each dataset contains data for a specific report user audience, which has the same data permissions. Then, create one workspace per audience and assign access permissions to the workspace or app.
For example, a company that has just two sales regions decides to publish a dataset for each sales region to different workspaces. The datasets don't enforce RLS. They do, however, use query parameters to filter source data. This way, the same model is published to each workspace—they just have different dataset parameter values. Salespeople are assigned access to just one of the workspaces (or published apps).

Hi carlol ,
RLS does have some drawbacks, but it is indeed a bit more convenient and flexible. If you don't want to use RLS, maybe your Solution 3 is the only option. there seems no better solution in Power BI at this stage...
