📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

I watched this video to understand RLS and especially about if someone got the dataset will the RLS still apply as you showed at the end, and literally the VERY NEXT DAY my boss asked this exact question. Thanks man, you made me look good

[joserocha]

Thank you Fernan, I was havening problem with RLS after publishing what was pending was de Securit configuration on power bi service. You saved my day!

[mallikarjunb]

This video is too good to understand and implement the RLS feature both in the Power BI desktop and online Power BI service account. Thanks a lot.

[cheoles]

Thx you ! I was looking for this exact feature. The fact that the dataset published will keep the RLS configuration is super interesting !

[akanshrohal]

Covered all questions i had after reading the microsoft articles, you're a life saver, thanks !

[JenMayB]

This is fantastic! Thank you so much! Question: can I combine static and dynamic RLS? I need to give some users access to everything so I’d like to just create a permission called “all” and assign them individually and then just have dynamic table for everyone else.

[khabir]

Superb. I really love this but what if my data source is a Cube/Tabular Model

[PallabIos]

Hej fernan. Very nice video. i have followed all the steps but not found Apply security filter in both direction in modelling. i changed cross filter direction to both . now i am seeing that it filters first table(Permission table) but not those other tables.

[Alan-psul]

Thank you Fernan - Very clearly explained. I've applied your lesson to my real life work scenario and it worked 1st time! Brilliant!

[rohitrane]

[emilymalkin]

Superb explanation, Fernan! You are an amazing teacher ❤

[easydanceexpress]

Great Video. Sorted out all questions we had on RLS in one go.

[subhajyotibhattacharyya]

Great video and very helpful. Can we use rls and pls together using this procedure?

[wjoanna]

Thanks for this great video.
How can I add multiple users/emails to view the same region's data? For example, if I want to add Bob to view what John can view.

[nairobi]

You make look everything so easy and understandable.

[ermecejour]

NIce video.. Thank you! My question is why should we manually assign members to the role on the service (at 9:40 on the video) if it's a dynamic RLS? If it 's a big group should we manually enter all names?

[HakeemLawrence]

This was a very good explanation. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[RRRR-yriu]

If one user is applied to all region, what will you do? Do you need to declare per line entry the region? Thanks
