    Hi  , ACCR 

    System cannot identify user name . According to the offical document you can see that when you use username() or userprincipalname() , usually returns a user in the format of DOMAIN\User or a user in the format of [email protected]. When you enter the user's name, it can only determine that this is a text column, but not a user name column.

Hi , ACCR 

Can you describr your operation in detail ? From the DAX you provided , there is no problem . Did you test RLS in Desktop ? Can RLS work ? Did you create relationship between User table and data table ? You can refer to the offical document to check your configuration .

Hi! Thank you so much for the answer! 

I am sorry I didn't give musch details.

 

Did you test RLS in Desktop ? - Yes

Did you create relationship between User table and data table ? Yes, the mapping is done correctly!

The only thing that I am seeing is that the system do not recognize the user using Distribution Lists. Only if I write the users email individually, the RLS works.
