Dynamic tab/page level security

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I am trying to find a way to dynamically hide/show tabs in a Power BI report.   I am aware of RLS and would use this but in this case we are outlining a report at different levels: so for example, one tab would show enterprise level data while another, department level data.  We want the user with the assigned access to only see their tab.  So a CEO can see enterprise and dept tabs and a dept manager would only see the department level data tab.  Using RLS could be part of the equation, but wouldn't fully do it because we wouldn't a dept manager to go into enterprise tab and make incorrect conclusions.

So, is there a way to dynamically hide/show tabs like this?  Or any clever workarounds?

Hi @Anonymous ,

It is possible with Power BI Embedded and Javascript SDK.
We have to identify the role 1st and hide the pages using JavaScript functions. 

Reference : https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/pagenavigation.html

If you are trying to implement the same in Power BI service, at present there is no option available. As an alternative method, you can create multiple reports based on the role. Then provide access to the corresponding people. Finally, you can create another report with a single page. You can mention some introduction to your report. Then you can provide a button for navigating the original report. In the Button settings, Turn ON the action and choose type as Web URL. Here you can use conditional formatting and choose a measure that returns dynamic report URL based on the Role.
