Problem with RLS on Power desktop and Power BI Service

I created a two roles on Power BI Desktop they work, when I test them on Power BI service it doesn't work, here are the codes. Can someone help me understand what happened please?

 

ROLE 1

IF(
MAXX(
FILTER('DISTRIBUTOR_USERS','DISTRIBUTOR_USERS'[Email]=USERPRINCIPALNAME()),
'DISTRIBUTOR_USERS'[DISTRIBUTOR_USERS])=1,
'DISTRIBUTOR_USERS'[Email]=USERPRINCIPALNAME(),
1=0)

 

ROLE 2

[AccountId] = LOOKUPVALUE('HR_USERS'[AccountId],
'HR_USERS'[Email],USERPRINCIPALNAME(),'HR_USERS'[AccountId],'Contact'[AccountId],'Contact'[HR_USERS]=0
)
&& 'Contact'[HR_USERS]=0

 

Thanks you.

Hi @Huguo90 


Could I ask how you are testing the roles?

 

If you are testing with your own account, that will not work because you uploaded the PBIX you are an Admin and will always see everything.

 

You will need to log in as one of those other users to test.

Hi @Huguo90 


Can that user also have read permissions to the underlying dataset?
