Static RLS not working on PowerBI service, works in Desktop

I have setup static RLS 

Similar to this

https://www.biconnector.com/blog/power-bi-steps-to-setup-rls-row-level-security-static-and-dynamic/

 

I test in the desktop , view as Germany , Report filters to Germany

 

I publish to PB Service , security tab in the Dataset , add my name as a member of Role Germany 

*the member list is linked in the Directory , you put in your email address and my name avaialble to select

 

The Report still returns all Countries 

 

Any Idea's , I am logged in to PB service under the same account and I have changed my workspace access to Viewer from Admin 

 

Thanks

Hey @carlol ,

 

I assume that you still are the owner of the dataset, meaning you have administrative rights on the dataset. If this is the case, this will explain why Row Level Security seems not to work. You can check your rights if you explore the Manage permissions configuration:

Hopefully, this provides what you are looking for to tackle your challenge.
