Hi folks,
I have a strange behaviour of my emedded in our cutom app report (We used client APIs for embedding and AAD Auth).
New AAD users who added to workspace security group cannot see the dasboard(even after 24 hours after creation). API repsonse is 401: GroupNoAccess
But if user goes to Power BI.com they can access the report. After that they can see the reprot in custom app as well!
Any ideas what is wrong?
I'm hoping someone can possibly help and explain the proper way to set up RLS filters with 'multiple conditions'. I've been trying to do this following the below info from Radacad, and not use 'Apply security filter in both directions'.
hXXps: // radacad . com/dynamic-row-level-security-with-profiles-and-users-in-power-bi
What I'm trying to do is based on the User email/login, to filter the users table. I then have 3 other tables that I would like to then also filter down based on user's permissions.
When logged in, I am trying to 1) filter and control what Regions or 'PropertyGroup', 2) Filter what Departments in those Regions they can see, and 3) What accounting/GL accounts they have the right to look at.
So in my sample, I have User 4. This users should have access to Region 4 and those properties in Region 4. They should then also be able to view only the 'Rooms' department of those particualar properties, and then also should only have access the Revenue accounts of those properties.
I've been struggle this the better part of day now, and finally time to try and learn and hope someone can take a look at help explain the proper steps.
EDIT. I can't seem to attach a sample pbix file?
I posted the sample pbix file here: hXXps://drive.google.com/file/d/1eg-lPVOKGRZoH2-IaCjjkksSVuoXoQLc/view?usp=sharing
and the sample excel tables file if easier as well here: hXXps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wYQatHfRi-_m5sNcgewNQDiU-ty4tOgr/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103613584984100370152&rtpof=true&sd=true
I set the 'Manage Role' for [Email] = USERPRINCIPALNAME(). But then I get confused on how to actual filter the other tables based on the users table. And below is the basic relationships.
I am trying to learn about adding row level security to a reoprt, and I have been able to do it like in the docs. The issue that arose is that I was told that the User!UserId that is being used will not be used in the future. So I was trying to find a way to be able to do row level security by trying to get a different id.
1. Is this possible? or is User!UserId the only option?
2. Does that mean I need to figure out a way to change the current User!UserId name to some other id.
Thanks for any help
Hi Team - I have multiple Power BI reports (with 2 to 3 tabs in each report) published to service and I have created an app using these reports. All the tabs from all the reports are being shown in the APP. Is there any possibility to show only the required tabs and hide the ones that are not needed for users to view?
For example, I want to show only the tabs highlighted in green and hide other tabs. Please help.
Thanks,

Hello,
I recently made a power bi report pulling data through an API from Business Central, it now has an error saying it hit its max refresh within 24 hours but now the refresh option is greyed out like its been disabled. Is there a cooldown period or do i have to re upload the report to get a new limit?
Thanks,
Hudson
Hello
I have the following function where I connect to an API but previously request a token
Later, when I receive the token, I connect to the api with the token to perform the query.
From power bi desktop I have no problem but when I want to update the data from the gateway I get an error "Some credentials have not been validated because they have been set to bypass the test connection" and "The credentials provided for the Web origin are invalid."
Credentials in powerbi desktop are anonymous - none
The gateway is the same but the errors come out and the model does not update.
Could you help me?
i am using two environments (workspaces) dev environment and prod environment however when i create deployment pipeline then it is creating three environments (dev, test and prod) , is there a way to create only two environments using deployment pipeline or should i assign my dev workspace to both dev and test environments of deployment pipeline?
Hi All,
I want to prevent anyone from sharing their reports with external users. Do I need to change any changes in the admin portal? Or Azure portal?
Thanks in advance!
I have a PowerBI Pagenated report subscription that writes the excel file to a sharepoint folder.
However, there iosnt an option to overwrite the file if it already exists. Instead it adds a number to the filename so if i get a separate file each time the subscripotin runs.
I dont want to do this, I want to have onbe file that gets replaced when the subscription runs.
Is this supported? Is there a work around so i dont end up with hundreds of files?
Hello everyone,
When the Folders were recently brought in the Workspaces, I was so excited! I could just move a Report in a Folder, and no longer see it in the Workspace list.
However, in the past couple of weeks they are all present, regardless of wheter they are in a Folder or not.
Imo, it defeats the purpose of having Folders.
Am I doing something wrong and there is a way to just see stuff not in Folders?
Thanks,
Alice
Hello everyone.
Currently we have a report with the following lineage:
Gold Warehouse --> Semantic Model --> PBI Report
We would like users to see the content in the PBI report, but not the underlying data from the Warehouse.
Initially, we tried changing the permissions of the Warehouse.
If we manage the permissions for users of the gold warehouse itself, ReadAll, visuals in the report do not load and return the following error:
When the permission is set to ReadData, visuals show up as expected, but users are still able to access the warehouse through the View semantic model, and the through the related Gold Warehouse:
After selecting this, users are able to see the following option, giving them access to all underlying data:
If users are added to the workspace of the Warehouse as a viewer instead, this option does not appear, but they would still be able to see through the workspace.
Is there any way to not allow users to see the content of the Warehouse and only the report itself?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Hi,
Is it possible in the Power BI service with the Git integration to do the following?
Having one centralized semantic model uploaded to the service from Power BI Desktop. Later you simply copy this Desktop file, apply a filter (in power query on the data, not in visuals/report) and also publish this to the service.
Eventually you update the centralized semantic model, with a measure for example. Is it possible to push this change to the other copied and published semantic model as well? The model is the same ofcourse, except for the filter.
In summary:
1. You have 1 centralized model that is the only one that get's updated/changed.
2. Reflect those changes in copies of the centralized semantic model when updates are made with Git (instead of copying agian and publishing over the previous set)
Would love to know, thanks!
Hi everyone,
We're implementing an end-to-end solution using Microsoft Fabric, including Dataflows Gen2, Pipelines, Lakehouses, and Warehouses. However, we’re facing a challenge and need your advice regarding the following.
Our Workflow:
1. Ingesting data with Dataflow Gen2 for multiple clients into a lakehouse.
2. Enrich this data in another lakehouse.
3. Load the completed data into a warehouse.
4. Creating a semantic model with relationships and measures based on the final warehouse.
The Challenge:
We need to extract data for a single client into an Excel template, despite having multiple clients' data in the warehouse. Ideally, we want to connect the Excel template to the semantic model (containing measures and data model) linked to the final Data Warehouse and filter this model to load only the data for the selected client into Excel. We're using the "Analyze in Excel" function with the semantic model or a connection string.
Previous Approach:
Previously, we connected Power BI Desktop to a SQL connection string, filtered client data in Power Query, and published the filtered data to the online service. However, this approach isn't scalable for our growing number of clients. Since we can't update the semantic models when the Power BI Desktop template changes.
Options Considered:
1. Direct Connection with Slicers: Connecting the Excel template directly to the semantic model and using slicers to filter client data. This approach loads all rows, affecting performance and potentially exposing other client data.
2. Old Approach: Connecting to the data warehouse, filtering in Power Query, and publishing a separate semantic model. This is not ideal as we want a centralized semantic model from the warehouse.
3. VBA or MDX Queries: Exploring VBA or MDX queries on the connection string, but due to limited experience, I couldn't get it to work. Something like SELECT * FROM [Client] WHERE 'Name' = 'FilteredClientName' in the command text would be something that would be enough.
Question:
How can we filter a semantic model to show data for only one client before connecting it to Excel with a connection string? Any guidance or alternative approaches would be appreciated. At this point, open to anything.
Thank you for your help!
Hello everyone
Hi would like to share Dashboards in my site like below. The user can open the Dashboard and leave the screen full (this site is an example):
I tried to share the same way in my site (portfolio), but the user can not open the Dashboard and leave the screen full (dont have this option):
https://sites.google.com/view/fulldatadashboard/p%C3%A1gina-inicial
How can share my Dashboard like site one?
Hi
I am assessing a scenario on the combination of PPU and F2, to understand the technical limits under this scenario.
I found a related recent post here in community (Solved: PPU license vs Fabric - Microsoft Fabric Community), but it is not my exact question.
I would like to know what does it mean practically to have both together? Does it mean that you would have a workspace marked with PPU license that has unique capability for power BI workloads (like large dataset), and for your 'other than Power BI workloads' (say, Data Pipeline) you would have another workspace with F2 capabilities?
Hello everyone,
I have a Power BI dashboard that I have shared with three colleagues. They need to embed visuals from this dashboard into PowerPoint presentations to share with their target audience. However, when the presentations are viewed by others, the embedded visuals do not display correctly.
Is there a way to embed Power BI visuals in PowerPoint so that they are viewable by anyone, without giving them access to the actual Power BI dashboard? I need to be 100% sure that the target audience can't access the dashboard/change filters, so thats why I am approaching it this way.
Any guidance or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Is it possible to see who and when someone have opened a PBI report i in PBI service? Or how many times the report have been wieved?
I'm still learning more on how to use Dynamic RLS with Filters to isolate only the particular data and rows for user. And I found this article this morning that has been very helpful and useful.
Power BI Row Level Security RLS Setup | Step-by-step guide (biconnector.com)
And I have this half working at this point based on my data and tables. But I'm wondering/hoping if there is way to combine the below 2 filters into 1?
I can get the data to filter on each one separately (GL Accounts Table). But I want to try and combine the two together if possible.
I am new to Power BI so I need some direction/advice on how I could setup Row Level Security for users with specific job titles in Active Directory. I have imported my users from Active Directory and have the job titles diplaying in the user table. Is there some formula that can be used when adding the new security role that will reference the job titles I specify?
During presentation of reports from the Power BI service, is there a way to write-on or mark the screen using my cursor?
I'd like direct attention to specific key pieces during a presentation but do it from the Full Screen view from the Power BI service.
Thank You!
