You have published a Power BI report and its corresponding semantic model to a workspace in the Power BI service. The semantic model contains Row-Level Security (RLS) roles that were defined in Power BI Desktop. Your task is to assign existing Microsoft Entra ID security groups to these RLS roles. Which steps should you take within the Power BI service to accomplish this?
Find the semantic model in the workspace, select 'More options (...),' and then choose 'Security'.
Open the workspace settings and assign the security groups under the 'Access' pane.
Create a new workspace app and configure the 'Audience' settings to include the security groups.
Select the report in the workspace, choose 'Manage permissions,' and add the security groups.
The correct method for assigning users or security groups to Row-Level Security (RLS) roles is to manage the security of the semantic model in the Power BI service. After navigating to the workspace, you find the semantic model (formerly dataset), select 'More options (...),' and then select 'Security'. This opens the Row-Level Security page, where you can select a role and add members, including users, mail-enabled groups, distribution groups, and Microsoft Entra security groups.
Incorrect options are misleading because they relate to other types of access control within Power BI. The 'Access' pane in workspace settings is for managing workspace roles (Admin, Member, Contributor, Viewer), which control permissions for the workspace itself, not for RLS. 'Manage permissions' on a report controls who can view, share, or edit the report, but does not configure the RLS data filtering. The 'Audience' setting of a Power BI app controls who can access the app, not the data filtering applied by RLS within the app's reports.
