RLS only works on tabular not within Power bi

[ovonel]

Hi,

I have a tabular cube (built in VS) where I have RLS, it works fine. I use the cube, for 2 reports... One is for everyone where I just show personal data and the other one is for Leadership.

(I do the trick by having an 'access table' where I set it to 1 , so the filter is enabled in the 'personal report')

The same exact set up doesnt seem to work , when i build the cube/model directly in power bi. I get this error:

How is it possible that the exact same set up, doesnt work in Power BI but it does work if I use an external cube .

Hi @ovonel 

You mentioned that "when i build the cube/model directly in power bi. I get this error:" , your data source is SSAS ? You connect to the data source with Live connetion mode ?  

If yes, then RLS is set in the data source, and the user needs to be mapped to the role corresponding to the data source on the Service before it can take effect.
