Yes, I am having the same issue. The concern for me is that most report developers are not going to have build / member permissions on centrally managed datasets produced by IT. We should be able to take a Power BI dataset (read only) via live connection and combine it with local data (spreadsheet). I cannot do that in the preview version.
this is something we're looking at to change, it is not easy though.
