In the workspace where RLS isn't applied as expected while viewing, does RLS at least work in the testing functionality accessible from the dataset's security settings?

Hi,
no, it does not work there. I always test it from there. Can it be that it does not work with the test but still works in reality?

    I don't think that RLS can work in reality if it doesn't in the test area.

     

    If things don't work in the test area, I think you can exclude workspace membership considerations (i.e. RLS is only applied to Viewers) and should focus on doublechecking two things:

     

    1. Membership of users in AD groups, with possible overlaps

    2. Syntax of RLS DAX expressions

     

    It might be useful to create a spreadsheet of your users, their groups, and retest everything from the ground up.
