Row-Level and Object-Level Security

In the previous chapter, we learned advanced data modeling techniques, such as implementing various aggregation types, incremental refresh, parent-child hierarchies, role-playing dimensions, and calculation groups. This chapter discusses an essential aspect of data modeling, row-level security and object-level security (RLS and OLS respectively). We will cover the following topics:

  • What RLS and OLS mean in data modeling
  • Terminology
  • Implementation flows
  • Common RLS and OLS implementation approaches

We try to cover the preceding topics with real-world scenarios, but remember that each Power BI project may have specific requirements, so it is virtually impossible to cover all possibilities and scenarios in ...
