Audience Targeting for News not working at Hub Site level
We have a Hub site and are pulling in news from sites associated with the Hub. I have set targeted audiences on those news articles and have tested the functionality on the sites themselves - the au...
Lenkaa - Hi there! Something that may seem small, make sure the news article that you added the target audience has been published to a major version.
Hi Pam DeLung,
thank you for your reply and help. Bu yes, they are all in the major version. This is a general problem when I view news using the Select site or All sites in the hub option. When I turn off audience targeting in the News webpart, I see all the news from other sites. However, when I turn on this feature, only those that do not have any groups filled in the Audience column will remain displayed.
It looks like SharePoint can't tell if I'm a member of an embedded group or not. But the This site option works with targeting without any problems and displays the news where I'm a member of the group.
- I have same problem, did you find any solution for this issue?
- Hi NightmareRambo77 and @ Reza Matin, our problem has been solved.
Communicated with MS support - didn't help.
Resolved by the fact that it suddenly started working.Lenkaa Awesome to hear, at work we call it "cloud" time whereby it can take between 15 mins and 24 hours before things can work sometimes 🙂
- seems like the problem not solved, we still got the problem,
it works from A to B to publish news, but if we do it from B to A
then it only work for the first Security group added in Targeting
/Tommy- From memory this audience target feature does have some limitations on what it can use. Ill try and find the blog post but from memory you can't use 1 type of group and nesting can be an issue if your not a direct member of the actual group, i do know that dynamic groups and synced onpremise security groups to Azure AD do work.
