Row-Level Security

Hi, I am creating security on my dashboard, I created the roles on Desktop and tested them, they are working as expect. I published the dashboard to a workspace and added a person to the role, The isssue is if I try to now test the role, I'm getting this 

Unable to test this role

 

To test row-level security, create a report with the semantic model and save it to the same workspace.

Im experiencing exactly the same issue. I created a dummy dataset as CSV files, created a report and added a role. After publishing the report to a workspace, which also creates the semantic model in the same workspace. When I go to security and click "Test as Role" I get the error "To test row-level security, create a report with the semantic model and save it to the same workspace."

Hi @Siphiwokazi 

 

"To test row-level security, create a report with the semantic model and save it to the same workspace. " According to this sentence, your semantic model is not in the same workspace as the report you uploaded. I can't restore your scenario, I need to know what operation caused this. Could you please tell me what is the data source for the above mentioned report? That would be very helpful.
