Shared Target Sets

Shared target sets are a way to manage a single source of commonly used sets of targets for your content. They are shared across all the administrators in your organization and can be a combination of Users, groups, attributes or IP address.

Managing shared target sets

Your organizations shared target sets can be found under Users & Groups. From here you can manage your existing target sets or create new one. 

Target filters

Target sets are comprised of include filters and exclude filters.

Users matching at least one of the include filters will be added to the target set, unless they also match an exclude filter. Exclude filters take priority over include rules.

There are a few different filter types:

Whole organization

Include every user and machine in the target set (Include filters only).

Users and Groups

Include every selected user and machine and every user and machine in the selected groups.

Attributes

Include users and machines based on a range of attribute matching rules.

IP Address

Include machines based on CIDR notation (e.g. 192.168.1.0/24), IP range, or single IP address. Learn more about IP Address collection here.

Previewing targets

You can preview who will be currently included in your target set by using the Show targets button. This will show the targets based on the filters you can see, even if it has not been saved.

Deleting target sets

Target sets can be deleted from the editing page, but you cannot delete a target set currently in use by publish content.

Importing target sets

Target sets can also be imported from a CSV file.
