Hello Everyone,
I went to test view the report as the designated role, and I'm receiving an "Unsupported" error. My report and dataset are published in the same Workspace. Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue?

Yes thank you I was running in to limitation
Does RLS work with composite models? I have both imported and direct queried data in my dataset. I'm applying the RLS to imported data, but when I have team members view the report, they can see all the rows and not just the limitations I imposed. The "View As Role" works in the PBI desktop as intended so I know the security was written correctly.

Please tell me have you solved the problem?

Yes, I am an Admin in the workspace. Is it possible that my company administration stilll restricts my user abilities?
Very strange, have never seen this before. Do you have full rights in the workspace?
Maybe raise a support ticket if nobody can help.
