2 ways to design Power BI Row Level Security

When using Power BI to make a report, in order to let each report reader only read the data that he can see, the function of permission management is often split into multiple pbix files, or through the filter function, so that each user can only see the data that he can see.

1、Row Level Security

This approach works where everyone’s report format is the same, but the data is different. According to the login account, only the data columns that the user can see at the bottom are fished. For example, if you want to make a performance report, Business Department 1 can only see the data of Business 1, Business Department 2 can only see the data of Business Department 2, and the vice president of Business Department can see all the data of Business Department 1, Business Department 2, and Business Department 3.

This method is suitable for each person to see different Pages, or to read different Table fields in the data table. For example, in the performance report, some people can see revenue and costs, and some people can only see revenue but not costs. At this time, you need to make different pages of dashboards for these two types of people, and through Page Level Security, the pages that these two types of people see are different.
