Why users who don't assign to RLS can't view the report

[mmc_]

Hi guys,

I have 1 workspace that contain 3-4 reports, and have assign approx. 6 users on the workspace.

user1 : Admin

user2: viewer

user3: contribute

user4: viewer

user5: viewer

user6:viewer

on the report A , I created the RLS role (no filter on each role) and then publish to the Power BI online and I still don't assign any user to the RLS role yet.

As I test to other report which I do everything same as report A, there is no issue at all.

but on the report A, users complain that they have this error pop-up

So, I'm not sure what I understand is correct  or not. 

That on report A,

1. if I don't assign any users to RLS role

user1 : Admin -> can see everything

user2: viewer -> can see everything

user3: contribute -> can see everything

user4: viewer -> can see everything

user5: viewer -> can see everything

user6:viewer -> can see everything

2. assign User4,5,6 to RLS role

user1 : Admin -> can see everything

user2: viewer -> can see everything

user3: contribute -> can see everything

user4: viewer -> can see only filter that applied on RLS role

user5: viewer -> can see only filter that applied on RLS role

user6:viewer -> can see only filter that applied on RLS role

Hello,
to the scenario 1. - If you have created RLS role in your dataset and you did not assign any person to this role than all users with viewer permission on workspace can not see anything in your dataset. They should retrieve an error message that there is a RLS applied on the dataset and they do not belong to any role. 
To the scenario 2. - I believe that this is correct. 

Maybe one thing it also depends if your reports are build upon a shared dataset which is published in different workspace. Than all the users needs at least read permission for this dataset. But from what you describe I think this is not the case.
