Once you are connected to Power bi Dataset you will not see the permission from datasource setting. Currently there is no way to identify which dataset you are using. As the workaround you can try following:

1. publish the current pbix to power bi service name it as something like"check model1 dataset".

2. go the workpace and find the report name => view related to see wh;ich dataset you are using.
