RLS in Paginated Reports - User cannot view

Hi,

I have a dataset in Power BI which has RLS rules within in it. The RLS works fine for users.

 

I have now created a connection to that Power BI dataset within Paginated reports. When I publish my Paginated Report to the Power BI app (the same app with the desktop rls report) the user under the RLS can not open it. I am able to run the report as I am a member of the workspace therefore RLS is ignored. The user is a member of the published App.

This is the error they see: Can anyone help?

 

 

  • FYI, we're shipping this week the changes to permissions to align paginated reports with Power BI reports for all scenarios.  Customers should no longer require "Build" permission when the items are in the same workspace or deployed in an app, and can use the new viewer role same as PBI reports can.  This will show up in tenants later this week or over the weekend.

     

    Thanks!

      I have the same issue. Have given App(Build) access to the AD groups. Still keep getting this error.

      chrisfin Is there any plan to remove the "build" permission requirement to view paginated reports that use Power BI datasets?

       

      I am trying to hide or otherwise disable access to all of the fields in a dataset but still use RLS in both a regular and paginated report. 

       

      Is there an alternative way to accomplish this?  I can't seem to access hidden fields in Report Builder, so it seems like they must be made available to those I share the report with.  This isn't the case with the regular pbix report--RLS and viewing works just fine with read.

      Hi,

       

      We having the same issue. User with viewer role (free licence) and build permission isn't able to see the dataset. 

      What did we do wrong?

       

      Kind regards.
