Exam PL-300 topic 4 question 23 discussion

Answer should be A, to be able to see what the specific salesperson sees (and compare it to what she should see) you should test the report as that user account since the RLS is dynamic and based on the user accounts.

After you clicked "Test as a Role", then you apply the user account email. That is even showed in the explanation but somehow ignored.

You need to check permissions for that specific user not the entire role (in case he/she could be assigned other role)

I've done this as a power bi admin before, so hopefully nothing has changed since Apr 2024 - should be A

The issue has been reported by only 1 salesperson, so the Test role has to be verified using that specific username.

You can only test roles, not accounts

To verify what data the salesperson currently sees in the Power BI report, you should: A. Use the Test as role option to view data as the salesperson's user account. Using the Test as role feature in Power BI, you can impersonate the salesperson's account and see the data as they would see it. This will help you determine if the salesperson is seeing the correct data based on their region and role.

I passed the exam today (948/1000). My answer was: - Use the Test as role option to view data as the salesperson's user account

We can give her E-mail address and view data as the salesperson.

Noooooooooooo, guy!!!!!!!!! we can just test roles. we cannot use salesperson's account!!!!

Correct Answer "A" A. Use the Test as role option to view data as the salesperson's user account. The Test as role option in Power BI allows you to view the data as a user with a specific role, such as the Sales role in this case. By selecting the salesperson's user account, you can verify which data the salesperson can see. Here are the steps to use the Test as role option in Power BI: Open the dataset in Power BI and go to the "Manage roles" section. Select the Sales role from the list of roles. Click on the "Test as role" button. In the "Test as role" dialog box, select the salesperson's user account. Click "Apply" to view the data as the selected user. By using this option, you can verify which data the salesperson can see and investigate if there are any discrepancies. No confusion, no need to discuss further

A is correct

The Cue is "You need to verify what data the salesperson currently sees". They are refereing to the person in question. While we should still click the "Test as role" then enter the email of the particular user. While Option B is not wrong, its only half answer.

A is correct. It only makes sense to test with the specific salesperson's user ID and that is possible. Source: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/enterprise/service-admin-rls

A is correct
