Row-level security enabled by roles for datasets feature released in March 2016. is great but a manual process. It should be enabled via Rest API too. That would allow synchronization of user roles with custom applications automatically.

We’ve acknowledged it and we want to do it but we don't have a timeline to share yet

RE: REST API for managing roles of datasets

It would really help if you could implement this. This is the only manual step we have left to resolve until we have complete automation for one of our pipelines.

RE: REST API for managing roles of datasets

There should be nothing you can do from the website (app.powerbi.com) that you can't do from the API. I accept that there may a lag between website availability and API availability, but all functionality should either be implemented or be on the product roadmap.

RE: REST API for managing roles of datasets

But you cannot assign members programmatically to a role.
