    tdimbladThe RLS is currently working with the June 2016 power bi update. You can now set up the role and rule in Power BI desktop. And it would not overwrite the role members in Power BI service, which is what is supposed to be. But on the power BI service, it still says it is a preview feature - so I guess we still can not use it for production.

samdthompson clearly not working for me. The role set up is right because I can view properly under the Test Data as Role. I have one test user and myself as members of the role. Both myself and the user see everything (report already refreshed). It is also confirmed at the test role screen if I use a view as a individual user option.

 

My last visit a or two weeks ago definitely worked.

 

By the way, does it only work under import mode? I am using direct query mode.

Would you mind clarifying what RLS were you talking about? When I tried to setting security of a dataset in  Power BI service it shows

And I'm not yet able to find RLS in Power BI desktop.

Hi Eric_Zhang and samdthompson I am also experiencing the same thing as you in that the Test Data as Role from the Dataset Security Menu is working on app.powerbi.com, but is not applied to the Report or Dashboard.

 

I am on the latest version of PowerBI (Desktop Version: 2.35.4399.381 64-bit (May/2016)), but cannot find any reference to Row Level Security in Desktop.

 

Lets see if a fix is made available soon?
