Dataflows look to have a lot of potential, but without having RLS, it is hard to deploy Use Case: we have global data that we want to deploy a standard set of entities for analyst around the globe to use for consistent reporting (i.e. 1 version of the truth). without RLS, when i share the entity the regions will see all the global data (which they are not allowed to see).

RLS in Dataflows is the only way to support a large number of power users who are capable of data modeling themselves. Datasets do not allow for building new table relationships so letting them work directly with Azure Synapse is the only option now. RLS in Dataflows would be the way to improve performance and allow for small data entry into visuals through the Dataflow. This use-case would dramatically increase the power and useage of PBI and the premium workspace in large organizations.

Hello, it's 2022 and this is still a huge issue! Please consider implementing this so we can share single datasets with multiple users across an enterprise organization.

RE: dataflow - Row Level Security (RLS)

Hello, also for our enterprise scenario here we would need RLS on dataflows. This is especially when it comes to working with Dataflows and AGGREGATIONS in combination! As in this scenario only the aggregation is imported, nbut the dissaggreagtion is a DQ to the Dataflow. As long as the dataflow is not able to capture RLS I would need to grant full access to the Dataflow - which is no option - or simply can NOT use the feature combination Dataflow DQ / Aggregations which is really a pitty!

This is a very important feature for us. With it, we would be able to share streamlined entities without having to restrict end-users to a predefined dataset.

Data Flow would be a great tool to provide master information (Products, Customers etc.) for different organizations within the company. When they are building their own reports they could easily use the shared, secured and promoted dataflow for dimensional details in the PowerBI report for example.

This is very important to data security and management. It's almost impossible to deploy a global project with dataflow without any security of the data. We can't create 10 dataflows in 10 separeted workspaces about the same data and maintain that for all the users.

RLS for Dataflows and Datasets for users with rights to create new reports is incredibly important.
