Dear All,
We are facing one small issue with SSAS Multidimensional Dynamic Security - Row Level access for Power BI reports in Desktop as well as in powerbi.com.
Problem Statement: Trying to filter out Cubes data based on the User Login to Power Bi.com using SSAS Multidimensional Dynamic Security Row Level - Power BI.com LIVE Connection
Please Note: While, we are testing with Excel and SSMS using specific ID’s, it is filter out “data correctly” and shows measure information correct. We are not sure, what is going wrong with Power BI Desktop and Power BI.com although we know we are missing some steps.
Giving some background here is what we followed from Microsoft documentations
Details: Created a User Security Table, Then Mapped to Product table, then the Sales fact is connected to Product table. Based on Users, Product will filter, then based on Product the Sales data will be filtered.
Note: The User Security Table is having a column called “UserName” where it is storing the UserName as “ABC\testuser”, In the format of “DOMAIN\UserName”. Which is passing from Excel/SSMS to filter the SSAS User Security Dimension.
WHAT WE HAVE DONE IN POWER BI.COM
Details: let's say, we are logging in Power BI.com as testuser@SSAScubes.com however the AD id which is mapped to SSAS Cubes is "ABC\Someone". So, we mapped in User Mapping, someone@SSAScubes.com to ABC\testuser. however when testuser@SSAScubes.com using as login id to power bi but the data is not filtering out.
What are we missing here?
Appreciate your quick response. Thank you.
Sandeep,
Did you get this work?is Power BI recognising SSAS Roles?
Dear Blrs,
Yes. It worked fine with Excel (on-premise) and PowerBI.com. For Power Bi desktop, it somehow giving issue as it connects SSAS Cubes with static user credentials. However, once you deploy the PBI files in powerbi.com, then check with user mapping details, once that is correct. It should show user level data.
Hope this will help!
Best Regards,
Sandeep
@Sandeep,
In your scenario, I would recommend you check the following things.
1. Make sure that you have correctly created row level security in ssas multidimensional , you can refer to this blog to get more details.
2. Use correct User Mapping path, both Replace and With textbox require Email address. you can review this article.
