Guide
Start by navigating to the 'Modeling' tab in the Power BI Desktop ribbon.
Now, select 'Manage Roles' to begin setting up your Row-Level Security.
In the Manage Roles dialog box, click the '+ New' button to create a security role.
Give your role a descriptive name that clearly indicates its purpose, like 'SalesTeamAccess' or 'RegionalManagers'.
Select the table that contains the data you want to filter.
Click 'Switch to DAX editor' to create more advanced filtering conditions using DAX expressions.
Enter your DAX filter expression.
Click 'Save' to apply your RLS role configuration to the model.
Great job! Your Row-Level Security is now implemented.
