After you connect to the semantic model, add your RLS table to that report's data model and wire it in.

Hi @lbendlin ,thanks for the reply, you are on the right track!

Hi @GAC ,

Regarding your question, it is possible to create an additional table in power bi desktop that stores the user information, link it to the data table and later publish it to the power bi service. For reports that do not require RLS, they can be created through the semantic model in the power bi service. For reports that require RLS, connect the previously published semantic model in power bi desktop. Create measure and use ‘USERPRINCIPALNAME’ function to filter the data based on the user information stored in the security information table. Finally, the report is published to the power bi service, and the report dynamically filters the data according to the logged-in users.
