Ability to define rules at column level, to control the data fields available to different roles (e.g. employee salary visible to the users in finance roles only, while other employee details visible to other department roles).

Thanks for all your votes! I'm pleased to say this feature is shipping in the February 2021 update: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2020wave2/power-bi/object-level-security

Please add this feature as this is the key requirement for most of the enterprises.

RE: Column Level Security for reports

Definitely need this. I can't be creating 3 different workbooks to hide 3 columns!!! This is a basic feature that needs to be included

RE: Column Level Security for reports

Column Level security should be a basic feature at this stage of development in Power BI. It is makeing the compliance to GDPR a greater nightmare than it already is. Is a solution or at least an alternative on the horizon?

RE: Column Level Security for reports

If this basic feature is not available how do I toggle the column visibility. Is there any alternative?
