RLS: multiple roles per user

I have a big semantic model with RLS set up.

 

Some users have multiple roles. It used to work very well and used to result in a union of what they are allowed to see based on the roles.

 

Now for whatever reason a user that has 2 roles, can't see everything he is supposed to see based on 1 of his roles. I can test it by checking a report in service with view as role and view as user. This is very confusing. Please advice!

 

Did anything change in the way RLS work with the june release?

That is what I want them to see... But I figured it can cause strange results for some measures

Hi @Olala ,

 Multiple roles are not recommended. "When a report user is assigned to multiple roles, RLS filters become additive. It means report users can see table rows that represent the union of those filters."

 

Here is additional information:
