As a developer I'd like to see how OLS (Object Level Security) rules apply for an audience in the the app so I can correct mistakes where appropriate and tackle error messages if needed.


However, OLS is not enforced when viewing a selected Audience as an admin. As a admin, I always see everything, which is not what I desire, since I want to be able to see what my users see. Of course, I can see this in Power BI Desktop, but it would be nice to be able to see the same as my audience, when clicking the audience tab.


Another reason this is desired, is that when modeling OLS properly, as an admin, I always get the full set of rows, instead of a specific security level applied. This changes it's behavior quite radically, resulting in unpredictable graphs and figures.
