    Hey so the problem didn't get solved based on the documents that were shared here but I actually reimplemented the entire report and ended up running in this permission issue fiasco at the very end but this helped me realise what the actual problem was. I will try my best to explain it here so here goes.

     

    So let's say we have a table (T1) with certain details like account id, license id, license name etc. Now the issue occurs since I am calling cosmos for each row. This for each on each row calls the following query:  "select * from c where c.Type = 'doctype' and c.AccountId = '"&[AccountId]&"' "

     

    Now this works flawlessly for my case when no privacy level check is done but causes problems when I try to refresh the report on power bi service

      Hi Anonymous ,

       

      I tested and found that there are two ways to refresh successfully.

       

      1. Manually enter the NotScannedAccounts[AccountId] column you quoted in the query, as shown below. But this will make the AccountID value fixed.

       

      let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlSK1YlWMlKKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [AccountId = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"AccountId", type text}})
in
    #"Changed Type"

       

       

      let
    final = Text.Combine(EnterTable[AccountId], "','"),
    Source = DocumentDB.Contents("https://xxxxxx", "ToDoList", null, [Query = "SELECT VALUE root from (SELECT c.id, MAX(c._ts) as maxval FROM Items c where c.id in ('"&final&"') group by c.id ) as root "]),
    #"Expanded Document" = Table.ExpandRecordColumn(Source, "Document", {"id", "maxval"}, {"Document.id", "Document.maxval"})
in
    #"Expanded Document"

       

       

      2. Import all the data into PowerBI, and then use parameters or manual or DAX to filter the data.
