add the possibility to connect to my organisation AAD and set who can see some datas inside a report.

Hi Ludovic. Thanks for the suggestion! There are a variety of security improvements we could make and this is a great start point. Who else thinks this is important? Please add your votes!

RE: Add roles management inside Power BI Designer

Row-level security was enabled by roles for data-sets. See here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-admin-rls/

It is in preview still, and has quite some limitations at the moment, but it is a good starting point. I had an improvement idea of enabling it with REST API here:

I hope it helps.
Cheers,
Tamás

This is very important especially if we could configure the ownership of the data using hierarchy based structure.

This would really help me consolidate several models into one.

RE: Add roles management inside Power BI Designer

This is a popular request I see in community after GA. Is there any plan to use AAD to apply role based security in PowerBI desktop or in the service? Many organizations use O365 or willing to use with PowerBI but not all can deploy SSAS..It would be a killing feature.
