Testing RLS in the service clicking on ellipsis & "test as role" nothing happens

I'm trying to test the RLS of a coworkers power bi dataset.  When I click on the three dots & select test as role,  nothing happens.  The dataset doesn't open to allow me to enter a user.  

I've tried closing & reopening browser, clearing cache,  etc.  Nothing happens.

The owner of the dataset reports the same problem so it isn't a permissions issue.  Any ideas?  

 

Thanks,
Julie

Hey @NPGeek ,

 

I've been able to recreate your issue, this happens when there is no report inside the workspace that is utilizing the dataset.

 

Maybe deleting the dataset and republishing the dataset will fix the issue.

 

Regards,

Tom
