print to ppt overrides row level security!

There seems to be a major security issue here, where the "Print to PPT" option on the web interface ignores the row level security settings. The resulting PPT includes ALL data, not just the data taht the user is allowed to see. This is a huge problem for us, since it is releasing data that should not be released. However, we can't turn off the export fuction without purchasing Premium. Please fix this glitch!!!

HI @DataDiva,

 

Current RLS only works on the member who only has the read permission. Dataset owner and members who has edit permission will get unfiltered data when they try to export report.

 

Using RLS with app workspaces in Power BI

If you publish your Power BI Desktop report to an app workspace within the Power BI service, the roles will be applied to read-only members. You will need to indicate that members can only view Power BI content within the app workspace settings.

I test to share this to my colleague and she can export the filtered data.
