Row Level Security on a Paginated report

Question

I have a Power BI report which has a button with link to a Power BI paginated report. The Power BI report is sourcing data from an Azure Analysis Service(AAS) and has Row Level Security(RLS) applied to it. I want to make sure that the paginated report also has the RLS applied. I am struggling with the process to apply RLS on the paginated report for Azure Active Directory(AAD). The AAS has roles based on AAD. How do I apply same RLS (by AAD) on the paginated report?

Answer 1

RLS is now only available on the report server or database side; it is not possible to use RLS on a paginated report. We can embed the paginated report here, and you can control which data is displayed when you embed a paginated report. This allows for user-specific information to be presented. If you have a Power BI paginated report with global sale data, for example, you may embed it so that only the sale results from a certain region are displayed.

This feature allows you to display a subset of data in a secure manner without compromising the rest of the data. It's similar to the Row Level Security feature in Power BI reports (that aren't paginated), dashboards, tiles, and datasets, which gives a secure manner of showing data.

You must give a Perameter to the UserID attribute when providing row-level security to a Power BI paginated report. Before the report is embedded, this parameter will limit the data collected from the dataset.
