Power BI Row-Level Security Guide Details Static vs Dynamic RLS

This guide explains Row-Level Security (RLS) in Microsoft Power BI, a feature that restricts user access to specific rows within a data model. It clarifies that RLS is for row filtering for read-only consumers and is distinct from Object-Level Security (OLS) which hides columns or tables. The guide details two methods for implementing RLS: static RLS, which involves creating separate roles for each group and can be difficult to maintain, and dynamic RLS, which uses functions like USERPRINCIPALNAME() to filter data based on the logged-in user and is more scalable for frequent changes.
