Audience Targeting search exlusion
Hi, we have switched on the audience targeting. Now we want to exlude search results for users where
theirs gruop is not included in audience column in folder, for example if i make a new called "New car for marketing " and i select marketing for audience i don't want to hr see this news if they type it in search bar.
Hi buszi99
If you use Security Groups or Microsoft 365 groups as your audiences to target the data, then the search results will respect it in security trimming.

buszi99 How much time you waited after applying audience target? You may need to wait for some time after applying audience targeting - try after 24 or 48 hours for safer side.
If you've selected an audience group that you recently created or changed, it may take some time to see targeting applied for that group.
