Row Level Security in Power BI Service in Deployment Pipeline

Hi KarenL7 ,

Based on the information you have provided, I understand that you would like to confirm whether the RLS settings are retained at different stages of the deployment pipeline in the Power BI service.

When you deploy reports from Power BI Desktop to Power BI Services using RLS, the RLS settings are indeed included in the dataset and are retained at deployment time.

As you elevate content from development to test and then to production, RLS settings that are part of the dataset's metadata should also be retained during these deployment stages.

Note that while RLS roles and their rules will be migrated with the dataset, you will need to manage role membership (which users or groups are assigned to each role) separately in each workspace. This means that after deployment to each phase, you will need to configure which users are in which roles in that particular environment (development, test, or production workspace).

In summary, RLS roles and rules will migrate with the dataset through the deployment pipeline, but you will need to manually manage role memberships at each stage.

Best Regards,

Ada Wang
