**Dynamic Row Level Security in Power BI**

There are different methods to use row-level security in Power BI; You can set up Row Level Security in Power BI itself or through a live connection from a data source such as SSAS Tabular. However, row-level security defined in the ways mentioned in the articles above isn’t dynamic. By dynamic row-level security, I mean the definition of security is beside the user account information in the data source. For example, when John logs in to the system, based on data tables that show John is the sales manager for a specific branch, he should be able to see only those branches’ data. This method is possible in Power BI using DAX UserName() or UserPrincipalName() function. In this video, I’ll show you an example of dynamic row-level security with Power BI’s DAX USERPRINCIPALNAME() function.

Dynamic Row Level Security (RLS) in Power BI is a feature that allows users to control access to data at a row level. It works by evaluating a user's identity or role and automatically filtering the data they can see. This helps to ensure that users only see the data they should have access to, and that confidential data is kept secure. RLS can also be used to customize visualizations and data access for different user roles. For example, a sales manager might only be allowed to see data for their own team, while a finance analyst might be able to see data across the entire organization. Dynamic RLS also helps to speed up data analysis and report development, since it automatically filters out data that users should not see.
