Impersonate user when running report

I have set with SSAS multim cubes and PBI where I use dimensional securityin SSAS
I wonder if there are any options for impersonate users when testing the reports
I am looking for something similar to SSAS change user or effectiveusername

Second questions is if it is possible to have default selection in filters/vizuals based on the user
A user could have a default customer for example

Hi @jockefe,

Have you tried map your Power BI sign in name with a local directory UPN for your Analysis Services in this scenario? For more details about Usernames with Analysis Services in Power BI, you can refer to this article. Smiley Happy

As far as I know, it is not possible to do it currently. Smiley Happy

yes, this is a possible workaround

 

I have posted a request to be able to do this from the desktop app: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/19432846-change-properties-on-ssa...

Any ideas?

There is unfortunately not possible to edit the connection string (this would have made it possible to add the effetiveusername prpoerty)
