Row level security is not working in Analyze in Excel

Hi,

 

I have a dataset that with RLS Roles and rules defined at the Power BI desktop and publish to the service. After that I have assign users/groups to the Roles that available in the datasets. The RLS is working when users run the report against the dataset. However, the RLS is not working then do Analyze in Excel for that dataset. Could anyone advise which part I should fix to make this working. 

The users that I tested with the Analyze in Excel are Contributor and Viewer. The workspaces are in premium capacity.

  • RLS does not work for Contributor roles. Only test with viewers.

      Check your data model. Make sure there are no arrows pointing to the RLS table.

      Hi, laikittmun 

      Yes , the RLS should work in both report and Analyze in Excel for Viewer. 

      If RLS works on PowerBI Service, it should also work when do Analyze in Excel for that dataset. 

      Please recheck the account you used for tested with the Analyze in Excel.
