Shared Dataset with RLS/Workspace App

[AnSc93]

Hi together,

I didn't use shared datasets before so I have some basic issues.

I have the following scenario at my workspace(s):

1st question: Do I have to set up all my required RLS-roles in the Shared Dataset?

2nd question: Do all the people of the RLS groups see all the reports in the App? (of course with their RLS filters)
Because if I use a dataset for each report then I can exclude the RLS groups from certain Reports and the users can't see anything in this reports. (what is my goal)

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,

Andreas

Hi @bcdobbs ,

thank you for your feedback.

Regarding the end user permission for the dataset you mean this configuration?

Thank you for your hint regarding "App Multiple Audiences"! This will really help.
But until we can use it in our organization, all app users would see all the reports, right? (limited to the RLS filters or can I restrict some reports completely like I can do it now with the specific RLS filter for each dataset?)

Thank you and regards,
Andreas

Yes until you implemented that you're right they would see all reports.

The screen you've sent control RLS on the dataset. You also need to grant either read or build direct to the dataset itself (assuming app users don't have access directly to workspaces). I'll send a screen shot later if you need.

Hi @bcdobbs ,

thanks again for your answer.

You mean this view here right:

Hi,

Yes RLS is a property of datasets so that all needs to be configured in workspace 1. 

End users also need direct permissions granting on the datasets (not at workspace level).

Also check that in your tennant settings use datasets across workspaces is enabled.

With regards to your second question. All reports would be visible in the app just some of them would show no data. Microsoft however just put "App Multiple Audiences" into public preview which should help you achieve what you need.
