PowerBI Integration with multiple sharepoint

[sclement]

I was wondering if there is a way to use metadata on the SharePoint page to drive the filters of an embedded power bi report.

For example, in an automotive company, each sales showroom (eg: Ford, Toyota, BMW) will have its own sharepoint Page and the company would like to present on that page the number of sales and gross per sale for the sales people working in that department.  

Salesperson	Avg Gross
A	4500
B	6700
C	9000

If A is the only employee of Toyota Team, then anyone in Toyota Team would only see PowerBI report with A’s details in their sharepoint.

Hi Icey,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I tried this. Eventhough when I filtered the data for a certain department usiand given the premission to view the department data view to my manager, but he was able to see the all data without filtering. Was it because he is the owner of sharepoint?

Sorry, as I am just beginer and so I am not familar with all these. Can you help me sort this out?

Thank you very much!

Regards,

Sachin

Hi @sclement ,

Have you managed security on your data model in Power BI Service like below?

No, it doesn't matter if it is the owner of SharePoint or not, it has to do with the role in the Workspace.

What's your manager's role in the corresponding workspace? He/She can only be a "Viewer", or none role of the workspace. RLS doesn't work for Admin, Member, and Contributor in workspace.

If you publish your Power BI Desktop report to a new workspace experience in the Power BI service, the RLS roles are applied to members who are assigned to the Viewer role in the workspace. Even if Viewers are given Build permissions to the dataset, RLS still applies.

Hi @sclement ,

Have you tried to use Row-level security (RLS)? 

When using the Embed in SharePoint Online option, the embedded reports respect all item permissions and data security through row-level security (RLS), so you can easily create secure internal portals. For detailed steps, please check:
