What is role-based access in BI systems?

< 1 min read

Role-based access is a security approach where data access is given based on user roles.
Each role defines what data and reports a user can view or edit.
In a BI project, sales managers could see regional data, while executives saw overall data.
Finance data was restricted only to finance roles.
I helped gather role requirements from stakeholders.
These roles were implemented using row-level security in Power BI.
It reduced data misuse and improved compliance.
Role-based access ensures data is shared safely and appropriately.
