    Hi Anonymous ,

    This is by design rather than an issue. Below is the response from the professional Engineers.

    > "This is by design. It is just to test the role but not to apply the same filter for exporting."

     

    You could try to add filters manually in Filters Pane. And then export the report to PDF.

    Work with filters in Power BI reports 

     

    And if you really need the functionality, maybe you could submit a new idea in Power BI Ideas.

    (I haven't found a similar idea. So the new idea may take a long time to be completed.)

     

    Hope this can help you.😉

     

    Best Regards,

    Xue Ding

I'm having the same issue. I've got a web app where a Power BI dashboard is embedded. The report has RLS, which is respected when I see the data on the screen, but when I export it to PDF the RLS is ignored and I can see all the data.
