When connecting to a SSAS Tabular dataset, the Power BI modelling tools should be available (in read-only mode), so that users can see the structure of the dataset. For example: The relationships between tables; the underlying DAX for measures and calculated columns, etc. Currently my users are lost when using a large SSAS Tabular database, as they don't know how any of the tables are related to each other, and just see a big list of tables in the 'Fields' section.
