After spending several evenings working out security issues I finally got the Report Builder working only to discover that my views did not make it from my "view" to my "model". I tried creating a simple report off a base table but got a empty result set. Since the sql is not available to the user there is no easy way to debug the problem.

I'm sure there are some developers who have had success implementing this tool but it just doesn't seem ready for production. Maybe I had exceedingly high expectations for this tool but there have been similar power user tools around like this for over a decade that have been easier to configure and use. I think I'll have to wait for the next release and try again.
