How to test a user's access?

Hi,

 

Is there a way to simulate a user's access when using Power BI. i.e. I need to check that a user's reports appear as expected, and that they can't see anything they don't have permission to see.

 

Thanks,

 

CM

If you are using RLS, you can test specific roles using the "View as" functionality. Outside of that, your best option is to create a test user, go through the same sharing process you used with your user in question and then logon as that test user.
