Test as Role is not working properly for some datasets

Hello Team, 

   I'm facing a strange issue, only on some datasets (not all). 

I'm ADMIN of the workspace and when I try to Test the RLS with the Test as role, I receive this message:

Do you have the same issue? Can you please help?

I've also tried to republish the dataset, but no luck.

Thanks

Hi,

 

I also run into this problem today and I see, that there are other people having the exact same issue in the recent days. I have admin permissions and there was no change for the report lately. So I guess it's a bug in the PowerBi service...

Regards,

Dirk

Thanks for your answer, but unfortunately it is not solving the issue. I'm ADMIN of the workspace (assigned to a Premium capacity P1), so I have full rights to datasets and reports... the dataset has been created using Excel files (so no direct query or SSO). I tried to publish the same dataset with a different name (first in a different workspace, then in the same workspace), and the Test as Role is working... What can be wrong? Thanks
