Re: Filtering data for customers with embedded Power BI with a shared data source?



Actually, ignore my last reply. After looking more into how RLS works with Power BI embedded, I figured out that I could actually pass in a CustomerId as the username on the embed token, and then use DAX with the USERNAME() function to tie that to the CustomerId on the report.

So essentially, in RLS, I have a role "Customer" with the following DAX expression: 

[CustomerId] = USERNAME()

Then, I  created a token with the appropriate role and username:

{
  "wid":"{workspace id}",
  "rid":"{report id}",
  /* other properties */
  "roles":"Customer",
  "username":"my-customer-uid"
}

I'm not sure if this is what you intended when you suggested using RLS, but it should definitely work.
