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!

I would love to see audience targeting on Quick Links. We custom built this on prem, so that different audiences could easily go to their "top tasks" when they loaded the startpage. Now it's really a drawback (I think only 3rd party tools like Valo fulfill these needs - but better to have it done by Microsoft)

I understand there may be a lot of complexity with implementing audience targeting on each and every web part. How about being able to create sections with audience targeting? I'd have no problem creating different sections with different content for different audiences. This would also allow the page to have a different format/look based on audience. For instance. My Creative Department would probably enjoy a more 'artisitic' yout where as my Finance Department would want something more 'traditional'.

Audience Targeting on library and and list views on modern pages would be helpful.

I would like to see the ability to use a SharePoint group instead of an O365 group (that is what the original request stated). When will we be able to use a SP group for this?

I would like to see this capability for quick links also. I have combinations of links that i want to display to only certain groups of people.

The ability to be able to enable target audience for the Quick Launch navigation link is also pivotal as you roll this out. The target audience feature should not just be limited to web parts and lists as it already existed with on prem SharePoint.

Concur with all the other comments - weather and clock web parts should be able to detect user location so that correct time and weather be presented to the user. We could do this type of thing in SP2010 simply by applying a filter =[Me] to many web parts. It's now almost 2020 so really amazing that 'old' technology had more capability than the Modern platform.

It would be great if audiences could also be applied to Text and Image web parts. This would allow authoring a single page but having portions targeted to specific groups.
For example an HR Benefits page that might only show specific text or images to users in a given region as defined by an audience

If it can be enabled on a normal text or URL(links) webparts as we work around the world and it will be good to have different URL for different countries.

Agree with Quick Links.
Customers are asking for targeting other webparts. E.g. they are asking for creating a different links for different group of users. The use case is to have a guidepost page with links based on the target group.
Two possible solutions here:
1. enable targeting of each link (preferred)
2. enable targeting for the whole webpart -

I echo the sentiment that this should be a capability on all webparts. However, I think it's super important for Document Library webparts! Having a message that a document library is empty until you click See All and get Access Denied is NOT USER FRIENDLY!

Audience targeting should be added back for navigation items and all web parts. One of the things that makes SharePoint easy to configure for different sections of an organisation.

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
