Report sharing to a Security Group
Hi Everyone,
I have recently shared a report to a security group with RLS. For RLS, I used userprincipalname(). When the user tried to open the report using their microsoft account, they are asking for password, which should not be the case. Can anyone help me with this? Thank you.
Hi, bhargavanand
Thanks for the reply from Joe_Barry , please allow me to provide addition.
You can also select a subscription in the report. Add a subscription for the entire group
But free users or groups can only subscribe to report backed by Premium capacity
You can learn more about the following link:

Hi bhargavanand
Can you provide more information?
Did you create a role in Power BI Desktop? Then added the Security Group to the Role in Power BI Service?Joe
Hi Joe_Barry
Yes, I added the role in the Power BI Desktop. And, in added the security group to the Role in Power BI Service. After I shared the report with security group, users complained that they did not receive any email which I shared with them. And, when I share the report via link seperately with one user, they were asked for a password in order to open the report. Is it because, there email is personal? If so, is there any solution, not to ask password?Hi bhargavanand
Just to troubleshoot
- Are these people from outside your company/tenant? If they are they will need to be invited to your Tenant and they will need to have a Pro Licence or a Pro Licence Trial to view the reports.
- If they are from within your company, it depends on the Licences your company has, either they need a Pro Licence to view or your company has Power BI Premium, then they can view reports shared with them.
