Some reports look perfect - until the user with their unique RLS role opens them. In this session, I’ll share hard-earned lessons from designing BI reports for diverse audiences in global organizations, where Row-Level Security isn't just a feature, but it’s a design constraint from day one.

We’ll explore how visuals that work in development can mislead or break when filtered by access level, and why designing for executives is not the same as designing for tactical leaders. I’ll walk through practical design patterns that preserve structure, context, and usability even when users only see part of the data.

This talk isn’t about how to set up RLS. It’s about what you need to consider much bfore and what comes after. How to design reports that still make sense, still look good, and still feel intentional—no matter who’s looking at them.
