Row-Security Level works on Report but not Dataset

Dear community,

 

I set the row security level exactly following instructions and various Youtube videos. These users can see:
✔️ the Report in the correct role (for example, people from Department X can see Report only in that Department X) BUT 
 whenever they open power BI desktop or Excel > connect to Power BI dataset > they can see all of the data from everyone from other departments & all columns. What can I do now to prevent that? 

They should only see the data of their department even when they connect from Power BI Desktop or Excel! 

I set all the steps as follow:

1. On Power BI Desktop > Modeling > Manage roles

2. Publish the report on the web service

3. On the web: Dataset > Security > put emails of corresponding people to these rows

4. Click on the Report > Manage permissions > then put emails of corresponding people

Thank you so much

Hi @quyenduong 

 

Are those people also members in the app workspace?

 

If they are remove them from all App workspace roles and try again?
