It appears that the groups used to control access to reports are not consistent with the groups used for roles in RLS. Is this correct? If so, there will be a big headache managing users and their access privileges!
As I understand it, after quite a bit of testing and research:
- Power BI groups:
- Allow you to share reports and dashboards with a user community, controlling access - works great
- Cannot use an existing Office 365 security group, or add an Office 365 security group as a "member"
- Roles defined for Row-Level Security:
- Can control what data a user sees - very helpful, works fine, I just need to learn DAX better
- Cannot add a Power BI group as a "member"
So it appears I have to set up two different groups to use these two features, and make sure I keep my users and groups synchronized manually? What a headache!
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks.
