Activate slicer selection based on dax or user permissions

Hi Power BI Community,

 

I'm developing a report that uses Site Name as the primary slicer for multiple pages. I have set up permissions with userprincipalID(e-mail address with app.powerbi.com) to only show data for that user's single site. The report is based on a site table with Site ID and Site Name and linked to a table containing Site Name and userprincipleID using bidirectional row-level security. The Site slicer is currently set to a single selection radio button control. 

 

I'm trying to find a way to use a dax formula to select site slicer items based on userprincipleID.

 

Use cases:

1. Manager A who manages New York should not see Oregon.

2. Manager B who manages Oregon should not see New York.

3. Region Manager C who manages Maine and New York should not see Oregon (Sites are not grouped; single site selection is best; selection of Maine OR New York will be acceptable)

 

When I publish the slicer, it always has a single selected Site ID. I have the permissions working; Manager A can only see New York and Manager B can only see Oregon. But If I publish with New York selected, Manager B sees New York selected (with Oregon as an option) in the slicer and "(Blank)" in most of the visuals. Once Manager B switches to Oregon in the slicer, the visuals show data and New York disappears from the slicer.

 

1: Is there a way to force a slicer to automatically select only the Site Name that the userprincipalID has permissions to?
2: What about region managers who have access to multiple sites? Is there a way to use a First/Max/Min dax formula to only select a single site that they have access to? (Activating multiple sites is not ideal for regional managers, and especially not for analysts with access to all sites.)

 

Thanks,
