Then you could setup your RLS for all of your other users to just be:

 

Table[RLS] = 1

Essentially, create your own global wildcard for "everything"

thx, for your reply.  I found that all I have to do is add the user name of anyone i shared a dashboard with in a new RLS Role and not include any rules for those users and they can then see and interact with any dashboards I shared with them.  The other users who I do want to have various RLS rules enabled are not impacted.

    Very cool, thanks for the update. One other thing that I have found, and they warn you about it when you setup RLS, is that if you are using a Desktop file and republish, it blows away your RLS. Assuming this will be fixed before it gets out of preview.
