Permission

In order to setup Audiences if you are not going to use SharePoint system account, then the foremost thing needed is to have admin rights in SSP. In order to do that follow the below steps:

  • Go to edit properties of the SSP
  • In ‘Process Accounts with access to this SSP’ specify the account that will be used for setting up setting up audience

User profile import

Now we need to do one more important step before we jump into Audience creation, i.e. running a profile import ensuring that all the user accounts those will be there in the Audience are in the User Profile List.

Audience setup

Now you are ready to setup Audience

  • Navigate to the SSP and click on ‘Audiences’
  • This will take you to ‘Manage Audience’ [as in the below screen shot]
