Hi

 

Thanks for the reply (and apolgies for not getting back sooner)

 

The users have the same permissions level in the WS (viewer) and are in the same RLS security group.

 

There are 2 different datasets in the WS and the problem persists for the same users across dataset

    Do you have an RLS role that can view everything? What's the DAX expression that defines it?

      It passes userprinciplename to the users name (code below)

      There is a role that sees everything.  This doesn't have any filters applied.

      DAX

      Username =
      var atpos = iferror(search("@",USERPRINCIPALNAME()),0)
      return
      if(atpos > 0,SUBSTITUTE(left(USERPRINCIPALNAME(),atpos-1),"."," "),"Error")

        I suggest you create a table in a new report page with each user's UPN and then a column with that DAX expression. Publish it in the service to see the UPN resolve to emails.
