Binding Database schema to report

[yiannis]

Hello,

I am using a multi tenant azure database and I have created one report that i would like to share with more than one person. I have created a parameter to change the schema of the database and it works fine. I want to share this report with users but i want each user to see report based on a different database schema. 

I have created a table with users two columns (email, schema) expecting to bind schema to username. But i got stucked and I cannot go on. 

Can you help ?

Try RLS, the idea is create RLS roles with schema = "xxxx", then assign users to different role on Power BI Service in the dataset security option.

I have tried RLS but i cannot change the schema parameter. I have created a parameter called [Schema] and I have placed it at the query. 

I have also created a table with email and schema columns in order to use the Username() and create the role accordingly. 

i got stucked after as i dont know how to bind the schema with the username(). I have to mention here that the queries i get data does not have a field with email in order to bind them. So the only way i can figure out is to open a dialog to the user asking his email and then do the binding afterwards. Still i don't know how to do it

@yiannis , You can a parameterized connection. But I doubt you can do that with help from RLS
