Hi Pulendar ,

Unfortunately, I did a search and didn't find any details about this and I doubt its feasibility in Power BI.

We hope that other experienced users will share their advice with you, and we look forward to your fen'xi when you have inspiration.

 

Best Regards

Lucien

    Sure Lucien, thank you.

    Let's keep this open until we receive any response from gurus. If not until one of us gets hands on extersize on it.

    Thank you,

    Pulendar

      The issue here is: When a dashboard developer creates a Dashboard, then publishes the Dashboard to Power BI service, it will continue to use the original credential set EVEN IF SNOWFLAKE SSO IS ENABLED. So, you basically get RBAC for the development process but you're then stuck once you deploy. It's a tricky hole to fall into.

      Power BI service needs to offer a way to say, "When SSO is configured, use the Viewers credentials to access the data. Do not use the Developers credentials." That needs to be coupled with a way to say, "Always query this data" or "Use a per-user caching mechagnism to persist RBAC behavior from the data source."

      This is boiling into a feature request.
