    Hi jpodBerlin,

     

    You said “Now I remove this User from this group. Now the user should see all data from this table. No filter is expected.”,  actually it’s not right.

     

    When you have set RLS to your report, if users are not a member of any RLS role, the user can’t see report data you have shared with them.

     

    As you have set RLS role for the dataset, to grant shared user can see all report data, you need to create another RLS role which doesn’t have any filter DAX specified or apply DAX formula [Column Name] <> "anything" as you mentioned, then in power bi service, assign the shared user to be a member of this role.

     

    Best Regards,
