RLS - How to Create Groups

Hello,

I am trying to implement RLS in Power BI.

On the Desktop, I have created Roles and Assigned Rules to them.

In the Service, I can add users one by one.  But I need to add hundreds of users via a group.  

 

Can anyone please provide step by step instructions on how to create groups of users that I can enter so I don't have to enter users individually?

Hi @Anonymous 

You can create a group in Microsoft 365 admin center with global admin or user admin . Then you can add user in the group you created before .

Microsoft's official documentation details how to create groups and how to add users to groups, you can refer to it .

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/create-groups/create-groups?view=o365-worldwide

Then you can search and add the group in RLS .

Hi Collin,

Many Thanks!  I do like Guy In A Cube videos.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

This is laid out pretty well by @GilbertQ in the post below.  The answer to your specific question about exactly HOW to do it depends a bit on the group you pick.  For example, if you are using Security Group, that is created in ADD or O365.
