Row level security hierarchy

Hello.
A question about row security. Until now, I have used dynamic row security with organization hierarchy. I have followed the recipe for Radacad with Path, described here: https://radacad.com/dynamic-row-level-security-with-organizational-hierarchy-power-bi

 

I now have a twist that I wonder if anyone has a good answer to, or tip where I can see.
I have a hierarchy of regions - districts and sales rep. There are 5 regions, and under each region there are 3 districts. Each district has 5 sales reps.
Is there a way I can configure this so that regional leaders can see totals for the other regions and districts, but not data for sales reps other than those under their own districts?
The district leaders should see totals for the districts in the same region, but not sales people in districts other than their own. Salespeople should see themselves and colleagues in their district.
Would greatly appreciated if someone answered me or tipped me to articles that can give me a solution to this.

Nice greetings
DJ

You cannot do that with regular RLS.  You will need to consider creating a duplicate of your data model, with only aggregates or anonymized information. At that point it becomes a silly game and you will likely be better off to create a separate app for that purpose.
