Under ReviewSecurity - Ability to maintain source security for reports published on BI Sites

The general requirement is that visualizations (Power View, SSRS etc...) must not circumvent existing policies, or introduce yet another set of security policies on top of those already implemented at the source.
* For example, a visualization of sales data needs to reflect the policy that account managers can only read sales data for their region.
* For performance reasons, this is enforced at the source by injecting predicates into the query based on the end users identity. If identities for end users are not passed down the process chain into the data layer, it leaves us little option but to publish individual reports for every region, which results in an explosion of complexity and numbers of reports, or move the whole model to BISM and manage the policy in yet another place (namely the BISM model).
Impact
blocking migration to SPO/BI Sites. At least 412 Site Collections with more than 600 Power Views. Impacting Adoption or migration for majority of BPUs - e.g. Finance, LCA, HR, etc

Hey all! We've continued to make progress here, so I wanted to update this thread with our current capabilities for maintaining security on dashboards/reports. As always, all of this information can be found in our Row-Level Security (RLS)documentation: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-admin-rls/ > If you have set up RLS in Analysis Services, Power BI will send the signed-in user's credentials to Analysis Services, and respect the RLS rules set up on the on-premises model. > Separately, you can set up RLS in Power BI for data sources that you import or connect to via DirectQuery. This process starts in PBI Desktop, where you define roles, and write DAX to constrain what data these roles can see. As part of this process, can you use the UserPrincipalName () DAX function to get the current signed in user's UPN (e.g. joe@contoso.com). Then, once you publish to service, you can assign users to these roles. Does the above meet your requirements? Please let us know via comments or e-mail. Those of you who requested that the identity of the signed in Power BI user be pass through to Azure SQL, SQL DB, DWH, etc.: we hear you - that is under consideration. Thanks, -Sirui

Come on Microsoft, community is awaiting this feature long time
RE: Security - Ability to maintain source security for reports published on BI Sites
Still looking to see if there is a general solution for this without SSAS. This is crucial to implementation and may ultimately be the deal breaker that moves us to another platform.
RE: Security - Ability to maintain source security for reports published on BI Sites
How do we Implement Row Level Security???
In an Organizational Hierarchy?
Do Power BI Provide any Solution For it.
RE: Security - Ability to maintain source security for reports published on BI Sites
Very much needed feature. Without this you cannot productize metrics. A deal breaker.
RE: Security - Ability to maintain source security for reports published on BI Sites
I just quickly tested the row-level security and it works great. I will do more testing and provide our feedback. Thank you so much Power BI team !!.

'@marcelo, I can not repro the first issue you reported. Can you please file a ticket at https://support.powerbi.com by clicking on "Contact support" for better assistance? And yes, we are actively working on #2.
RE: Security - Ability to maintain source security for reports published on BI Sites
Most certainly, passing the identity from power BI web to a backend is a necessity!
RE: Security - Ability to maintain source security for reports published on BI Sites
Two issues:
1. The security option does not show in portuguese version.
2. We need to be able to upload and updated file from PBI Desktop without having to redo the RLS.

This will increase user adoption. Very few people will go through all the steps necessary to create personalized filtered reports/dashboards. We need the ability to distribute corporate reports without 2 pages of instructions on how to personalize them.

Saw it in action, it's exactly what we needed.
