For one of our customers we have implemented row based security in SSAS Tabular using roles, and then adding members to these roles. When connecting to SSAS Tabular from Power BI the set filters are not having any effect.
After doing some digging with SQL Server Profiler (connected to SSAS) I see that<EffectiveUserName> is set to the service account being used to connect to Tabular (same as Logged In User), *NOT* the UPN of the logged in user. This information is returned in the <CustomData> tag. I have a feeling that this might be related. We are using "On-Premise data gateway" for this customer.
As as side-note, another customer of ours also have row based security (which works), and here the logged in users UPN is returned in the <EffectiveUserName> tag. The major difference is that this customer is still on "Power BI Gateway - Enterprise".
Any clues or hints towards a solution?
