Hiding a data set from the dataset list while still maintaining necessary access to the dashboard.

I have a dataset containing sensitive information that I want to use to build a visualization in Oracle Analytics Cloud (OAC) for users to access. I've designed my dashboard to restrict visibility so that each user can only see the data associated with their username in the dataset. However, to enable this functionality, I had to grant all users read access to the dataset.
The issue is that this also allows users to navigate to the dataset directly, where they could open it and see all employee information—something I cannot allow. I need a way to hide the dataset from the dataset list while still maintaining the necessary access for the dashboard to function properly.

Hi @Moriah O'Kelley ,
You should handle row-level security directly in the dataset by creating role-based filters, instead of doing it at dashboard/workbook level:
Please note that when you add role-based filters in the Dataset editor, the preview data shown isn't filtered, but the dataset is filtered when dashboard/workbook consumers access the dataset.
