hi  @Anonymous 

In fact, when you design on desktop side, power bi not has any limitation on packages and functions that you used in r visual.  
After you publish to power bi service side, there are a few limitations for r scripts. For security reasons, some of r script functions has been blocked on power bi service side(e.g. access external datasource, write/access to specific folder path, import/export file...). You could refer to this doucment:
