Can't Get RLS to Work

I am working with data that I have imported into PowerBI Desktop and then published to the PowerBI service. I am trying to get Row Level Security (RLS) to work, but it doesn't seem to apply to the users. When I test the role in the RLS screen it works great. However, when one of the users that I set as a member of the the Role logs in, the RLS is not applying. Is there something more at the organizational or global level that I need to turn on for RLS to apply to the users I assign to the roles? If not, any other thoughts on why it would work when doing the Test Data Role feature, but not on the actual user assigned to the role?

With this latest release, it should work with Groups in Power BI. The catch is that the group has to be configured that members have read-only access. Then the role will be applied to the read-only members. If they are marked to have edit rights, the roles will not be applied.
