In Power BI Service it is not possible to test a role with a specific report. The Test as Role function, opens a report that is partially unusable or has no visualisations.

Our dataset is too big to open it in Power BI Desktop and test the role. 

A functionality is needed when I test a role, that I also can directly select a report that contains plausible visualisations.

RE: Test RLS with specific Report

Agreed, it seems as though Power BI is just chooseing the 1st report used on that dataset alphabetically. In most cases, this is not the desired report to test security on. Please give the ability to switch between available reports when testing roles and email access!

RE: Test RLS with specific Report

This could be done before the new layout of powerbi online. Now we cannot switch between reports anymore. There should be an option as a developer in any report to test as role..
