Cannot deploy reports with DirectQuery and RLS via deployment pipeline with deployment rules active

[arpost]

I have a report that uses DirectQuery and row-level security that needs to be moved through a deployment pipeline, but I cannot deploy it if I turn on deploy rules for the target workspace. This same parameter rule works just fine for other reports being deployed via the pipeline (and works when set manually on data per note in image below).

This is really problematic for enterprise-level BI DevOps as RLS is essential to handling sensitive data for our org, and the dataset needs to be updated to use the appropriate database for each pipeline workspace as they correspond to an environment, so Dev = Dev DB, Test = Test DB, etc.

Hi @arpost ,

This is a dataset limitation in the deployment pipeline.You can only add to the dataset manually.

• A dataset with DirectQuery or Composite connectivity mode, that uses variation or calendar tables, isn’t supported.

For more information，you may refer to Deployment pipelines process - Dataset limitations
