Hi Anonymous ，

 

Would you please show us the formula you used in configuring RLS in Power BI desktop? As far as I know, if you are the admin of the workspace, the rls will not work for the admin user. Rls will only work for users with view permission only.

 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
