Explanation

In Power BI, Row-Level Security (RLS) is configured at the Dataset level, not at the dashboard or report level. When a dashboard is shared, consumers see data based on the underlying dataset's security rules. If no RLS is defined, users see all data the dataset contains. To restrict the sales team to seeing only their own team's data, you must define RLS roles and rules within the Dataset (in Power BI Desktop under Modeling > Manage Roles, or in the Power BI Service under dataset settings). Dashboards (A) are just pinned visuals and have no security configuration. Reports (B) inherit security from the dataset. Settings (D) does not provide data-level filtering. The correct place to configure data-row restrictions is the Dataset.
