In Power BI, when would you use Object-Level Security (OLS) instead of Row-Level Security (RLS)?

Accepted Answer

Object-Level Security (OLS) is used to conceal entire tables or columns from specific roles. This approach prevents users from seeing the field in the field list. In contrast, Row-Level Security (RLS) filters data based on user attributes. OLS is ideal for hiding sensitive data.
