SharePoint Modern Page WebParts with Audiences
Hello all, I am trying to use the Modern Site Pages in SharePoint Online, but I think one feature may be missing. I have a somewhat personalized view, where I show or hide webparts using Target Aud...
As this post is nearly 5 years old, with the last entry over a year ago. While the answer is technically talking about Audience targeting, it doesn't address the actual functionality being requested. These new items are for filtering content within the web parts. It does not show or hide the actual web part based on role or security.
The ability to show or hide web parts has been a staple functionality in SharePoint for many, many years. To NOT have this ability ties the hands of the admin's and users that are tasked with making content available to those that need it, while keeping other data hidden from those that don't need, or are not ALLOWED to see it.
(Caps are for emphasis, not a show of anger or frustration) However, frustration is probably a small part of this thread as a whole.
Example:
If I have a list view web part showing data on a landing page for only Managers to see, I'd like to have that shown for them only. Not require them to navigate to other locations to see what they NEED to see for them to perform their jobs.
Why is this still not available in the modern page layout?
Wandering in here trying to do the exact same thing and filter specific webparts and SECTIONS of my pages by audience and... NO GO! It's 2023 almost 2024 and this still isn't a wide spread feature... How the Flip flop dude? I am super impressed with everything Microsoft has done but this is DEFINITELY an issue that needs solved immediately.
