Hi tfraletti 

 

When using RLS you would need to get each user to log into the PBI Service in order to get the UserPrincipalName to find out who they are and to then apply the RLS.

 

From your message it sounds like you are using Publish to Web Link. If you are that is a limitaiton of publish to web in that you CANNOT use RLS with Publish to Web.

 

Publish to web from Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

 

To work around this you would need to get a Power BI Pro license for each user who access the report.
