Row level security enables a user to dynamically change the information in a report so there aren't different versions of the same report for different users. For example, assume you have a report that summarizes your organization’s budget by department, but you don’t want each department to see each other’s budget information.

Historically, users have been forced to have different versions of the same report for each department. But row level security changes that. If someone from the Operations department logs into Ripplestone and runs the budget report, they will only see information for their department. Whereas if someone from IT runs that same report, they will only see information on the IT department.
