    Hi Kartic21,

     

    In your .NET application, ensure that the correct user information is passed when generating Power BI embedded tokens by customizing the authentication logic.


    Or when generating embedded tokens, you can use the Power BI REST API  effectiveIdentity to pass custom user attributes to correctly identify users in reports.


    Additionally, please verify if there is any dynamic data masking applied on the datasource, as this could also affect the results.

     

    Best regards,

    Joyce
