Roles not working correctly
- 4 years ago
Hey WEB3 ,
if you publish your Power BI Desktop file to the workspace, with Row Level Security (RLS) implemented it's essential to understand, that RLS will not apllied if users are accessing the content from inside the workspace.
You have to create an app from the contents of the workspace and grant users access to the app, instead of adding users to the workspace.
I always recommend that only users who are creating content (reports and dashboards) should be added to the workspace.
There is only situation where RLS will be applied if content is accessed from inside a workspace and not via the app, and this is when users have been the Viewer role assigned.
Remove users who are only content consumers from the workspace and provide these users access to the app.
Hopefully, this helps to tackle your challenge.

Hi TomMartens ,
Thanks for your quick answer.
I haven't actually made an app yet. I'll have to dig into that a bit more.
I have changed the rights of these users to Viewer. Unfortunately, that has no effect on what they have access to.

Hi @TomMartens ,
I now have the app. After that, the access rights worked properly!
Thanks again for your answer
