Audience Targeting for News not working at Hub Site level
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.

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- NightmareRambo77Sep 16, 2021Brass ContributorFrom 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.
- NightmareRambo77Sep 16, 2021Brass ContributorSince this post i think Dynamic groups do infact work now.
Azure Active Directory groups (including security groups and Microsoft 365 groups) are supported with the exception of AAD dynamic groups. AAD dynamic groups will be supported some time in 2021.

- LenkaaSep 16, 2021Copper ContributorHi 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.- NightmareRambo77Sep 16, 2021Brass Contributor
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 🙂
