Hi Aaron,

This behaviour is standard. The vision is that people who use the dataset
to create a visualization or an app can then add it to the dataset. A
related item associated with a dataset can be updated/deleted by the author
of the related item, the people who have the permission to edit or delete
the package or by the sysadmin user.
