Headshot of article author Charles Sterling

This week brings us two of the best presenters from down under: Dr Greg Low from Australia and Reza Rad from New Zealand. Reza will be kicking off the week with the most requested webinar topic, best practices around implementing Row-level security with Power BI, and Greg will be delivering one of the most popular modules from his Business Intelligence classes.

Row-level Security by Reza Rad

Row-level security is a new feature for Power BI that that enables you to partition data based on roles. Previously, this functionality was only possible by using live connections to on-premises Analysis Services. In this session, Reza will walk through how you can take advantage of row-level security to protect sensitive data and use general purpose partitioning information, such as geography, to make your reports more relevant and impactful.
