I understand that the Redshift connector is in preview at the moment, and as such only supports Direct Query from within the desktop application.
I also understand that support for the redshift connector from within the powerbi service, and through a gateway is planned, but my knowledge of the powerbi ecosystem is quite lacking so my question is:
Would the upcoming support for these two cases also imply that using PowerBI Embedded + Redshift w/ Direct Query will be supported as well? Will such a thing be possible ever?
Is there a tenable workaround for securely embedding reports fed via Redshift into a web app?

So far Power BI Embedded only supports DirectQuery to Azure SQL DB/DW.
The status of this idea Support other data sources Direct Query using Gateway on Embedded Power BI shows started, so I think there will be more options, either direct query to a on-premise data source via gateway or directly connect to a cloud service afther the feature implemented.
I don't quite get your last question, maybe you're looking for Row level security with Power BI Embedded.
This is your chance to engage directly with the engineering team behind Fabric and Power BI. Share your experiences and shape the future.
