Question on RLS and Download PBIX file

Hi,   We have published a dataset for which users should only be able to see the data for their respective business unit. This has been setup using RLS. Within PBI service this works as expected.  ...

    Hi PhillieB69,

     

     

    Firstly, agree with jeffshieldsdev, the user who download pbix which configured with RLS will see all the data.

     

    Actually, if the user could download the pbix, it seems that the user have the edit permission for the report.  As we know, RLS won't work for the workspace which allow Members can edit Power BI content in the app workspace.

     

    As a workaround, the feature export data may help you achieve your requirement.

     

    Best  Regards,

    Cherry

Clear, will look into the export data solution.
