Enable Audience targeting on modern page web parts
It would be great to be able to target content by Audience (using global audiences and SharePoint groups) on the modern web parts just like we were able on the classic pages. Thanks

We’re working on this! The first web part we’re enabling it on is the News web part, followed by the highlighted content and events web parts. We’d love to hear about other audience targeting scenarios you’d like us to enable. Thanks!

There should be this feature available for EVERY web part. I understand the popularity of applying audience targetting for News, Highlighted content and Events; however, web parts such as Quick Links are often used to show certain links that are specific to different groups. Currently, I have two Quick Links Web parts for two groups and ideally, they should be able to exposed only to the login user based on their group.

Please do provide access control for the file viewer webpart. If the user doesn't have access to a certain file via file viewer, he should not be able to see that web part altogether on the webpage.

Upvote for modern Quick Links and Hub/Site navigation. We have an HR Site used by offices around the globe and utilize the quick links modern web part to direct users to benefit sites and documents. Users should only see those links that pertain or are relevant to them.

Quick links should only show users links that they have access to, like side nav

Hi,
I would strongly suggest option to hide or display shared-path especially to the external collaborators as organization may at time need to prevent glance into the folder structure of the share drive.Thanks.
Thanks.

If possible I'd like to add to this, that the Content Editor Webpart is also a missing element from Modern pages, that should be added

I would really like to see audience targetting everywhere, these are the main areas that would be useful for our organisation
- Targeting of individual menu items in the hub navigation and site navigation menus
- Targeting of individual links within the quick links web part
- Targeting of entire web parts on pages (some web parts only need to be visable for certain audiences)
- Targeting of page sections (would be useful for grouping audience specific content within a page) -

On the Communication Site, we cannot set the audience target on the top links. Also normally almost every web part present on Modern web page should be enabled with Audience targeting.

Please allow the Quick Links webpart to be audience targeted. This webpart is the building block of our sites and would make a huge impact if we could show links to the right people instead of overwhelming them with too many choices.

Hi @HarzicN - for your scenario (as a workaround for now) you could create a separate page for your administrators and change the permissions on it so that only your administrators have access, and have all their info, links, etc. on that page. Then on your main page just have a link to the administrators page Users will see the link to the administrators page, but get access denied - but now they won't see any of the individual links, etc. Not ideal, but better than students seeing all the links, documents, etc.

Per blog (https://support.office.com/en-us/article/target-content-to-specific-audiences-33d84cb6-14ed-4e53-a426-74c38ea32293) audience targeting shall be available for pages. After enabling it in library settings, I do not see target audience property for selected page. What am I missing?

I can see audience targeting for News web part. (It is only available if your entire organization is on targeting release). When I applied Azure AD Security group (Dynamic group) in Audience targeting then Audience targeting is not working and News webpart display all news(pages) in News Web part. Is it expected behavior? when this feature is released to organization with standard release?

it would also be nice/helpful to have target audience on list views too.

The new audience functionality does not seem to work on a hub site for news webpart with news source setting recommended for current user. Really disappointing...

Since the new SharePoint modern sites are not recommended to have multiple sub-sites (aka flat navigation), audience targeting on any web part on any page makes sense, because you can have one team page with a section with web parts that target your core team, and another section with web parts that target your internal partners/stakeholders - people your team supports. This helps keep navigation flat and reduces the number of URLs, pages, sites we admins have to manage.
