Using Custom Reports from a Content Pack after authorization is removed from the Pack

I am testing the impact of removing permissions to a  Content Pack.   Here is  the scenario:

 

  1. User gets the Content Pack and makes a copy of the Report.  
  2. User modifies the copied report while saving it.
  3. A snapshot copy of the Dataset is automatically created for the User and the copied Report uses the copied Dataset.
  4. Content Pack author removes the user's authorization for the Content Pack
  5. Result:
    • User has no visibility to the Content Pack via Get Data
    • User has no visibility to the Content Pack within their Workspace
    • User still HAS visibility to the Copied Report and the Copied Dataset.   The copied dataset continues to refresh with the original source's refresh schedule.   So, the user loses no functionality for their custom report that was based upon a Content Pack although they no longer have access to the Content Pack.

The user's continued visibility to the copied contents was a result that was not expected by me.   Is this continued visibility in fact the expected behavior from the Power BI Service?
