    In retracing steps, I found my issue and will detail here in case anyone else has the same problem.  There were two reports in my workspace: the original and the one with row-level security applied.  I had the original visible in the app and the new RLS hidden, so naturally the RLS would not apply in the app.

     

    Steps to check:

    • Are you testing the correct report in both the workspace and app?
    • What access does user have in the workspace?
    • What access does user have in the app?
    • Is user included as member or in group of members assigned to role?
