Hi everyone! I'm pleased to say we support Q&A for datasources that include RLS. You can read more about our latest updates to Q&A here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/qna-december-2018-update/

RE: Support Q&A with Power BI RLS (Row Level Security)

Q&A for RLS datasets is really good news, but unfortunately it doesn't appear to work with embedding Q&A into other apps? When requesting the embed token an error is generated if you supply the effective identity for RLS: "Creating embed token with effective identity for reasources of type Dataset Embedding/Exploration is not supported"

This suggestion has been out here for over 2 years. With the GA release of Q&A, is this on the roadmap yet? It would be nice to hear something from someone at Microsoft.

RLS is used with any enterprise level report and it makes no sense that one of the best feature Q&A not work is a real turn off. Would sincerely appreciate your attention in this

Is this on the timeline yet? would be really great to see higher management asking questions to PowerBI instead of writing tons of emails!
Great feature, but probably useless for a lot of us of RLS is not supported.

RE: Support Q&A with Power BI RLS (Row Level Security)

We are starting to implement RLS with more of our customers and not having the Q&A function really makes it hard for us to build them custom dashboards. We have to upload a non-RLS version of the report, build the dashboards, then upload the RLS version. A real pain!

RE: Support Q&A with Power BI RLS (Row Level Security)

In some businesses there are many users which should only have access to their cases. We need RLS to work with Q&A and Cortana after sharing main data set with those users. They can create their reports, dashboards, insights using Q&A. It is amazing feature for ordinary users to make their discoveries and drive decisions.

RE: Support Q&A with Power BI RLS (Row Level Security)

Q&A seems very limited for embedded apps until it supports RLS
