This is a tremendous gap in the embedding story. There is no way that my organization will let me connect Power BI Desktop to our production database and pull all of that confidential information onto my laptop.

 

With the old Power BI embedded, I could work on a local test database, then publish it and update the connection string. That would allow me to work on fake data, but publish the report against real production data via the gateway.
