Row Level security

Hey all,

 

I am getting a little confused with row level security.

 

So i understand you can only implement this if you use SSAS is that correct?

 

I dont understand how this works - so could someone shed some light.  If i connect to SQL and make a dashboard and publish it - the data held within will be all the data that i had published as a dash.  If i share that to someone they will see all the data.

 

Now lets say hypothetically - i make a tablular cube.  I have full access to the data.  Other people have restricted access.  So i publish said dashboard - now surely when i do that it will publish with all the data?  Then if i share it will not everyone still see the data?

 

OR does it not store the data in the cloud (like if you connect to SQL) and forces a refresh for each person that views the data?

 

I hope this makes sense,

 

Dan

Hi Dan,

 

You need to utilise the Analysis Services Live Connector for this scenario.  You can find more info here:

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/powerbi/archive/2015/03/11/power-bi-analysis-services-connector-deep-dive.as...

 

In this arrangement, no data is stored in the cloud.  Power BI converts your request to a DAX query, and sends that query (along with your AD info) to the Tabular model who duely executes the query applying the appropriate Row Level Security.

 

Hope this helps

Sacha
