3. In the Manage Roles dialog box, click the '+ New' button to create a security role.
4. Give your role a descriptive name that clearly indicates its purpose.
5. Select the table that contains the data you want to filter.
6. Click 'Switch to DAX editor' to create more advanced filtering conditions using DAX expressions.
