I am the Administrator of my Workspace and I am in charge of granting people permissions to a dashboard that uses RLS.
I see people with both "Viewer" and "Read" permissions in my workplace. What are the differences between these two permissions? Does Role Level Security (RLS) equally apply in both cases? I primarily want to make sure that users are not able to download underlying data and somehow avoid RLS.

Hi @nataliab777
I think this "read" permission was a result of upgrading the Workspace. Users left with "read" were once Members who could only view Power BI content, when the Workspace was upgraded they were left with "read" permissions on the dataset in the Workspace. They are still subject to RLS, but you may want to remove them and add them as "Viewers" just to keep things tidy.
Hope this helps

Hi @nataliab777 ,
In new workspace ,only have four roles:Admin Member Contributor Viewer.refer this link.
If I grant a user viewer permission ,it will show it with the viewer permission for dataset.Like below,the viewer permission for dataset could not romove through manage permission.
And if you grant a user read permission is through the following steps.And it could remove through manage permission.
rls is in effect unless there are edit and higher permissions on the dataset. So for viewer and read permissions, rls is in effect.
Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
Best Regards
