Add an audience to a workspace

As a Site Administrator, you can add users to workspaces in bulk using existing audiences. To do this, follow these steps:

Go to the workspace to which you want to add members.
Click the user actions menu (this will say Owner if you are the Workspace Owner) and select Bulk add audience(s).
Check the boxes to select the audience(s) you wish to add to the workspace, then click Add.
A pop-up will indicate how many new users will be added to the workspace (any users in the audience that are already members of the workspace will not be included in this number). Click Add members, or click Go back if you wish to change your selections. If no new users will be added you will instead be prompted to Reselect audiences.
An alert will indicate that the process has started, and you will receive a second notification once all users in the selected audience(s) have been added to the workspace.

Note that the Audience sync enrolment method must be enabled in order to assign audiences to workspaces.

Note that if any users leave the selected audience(s), they will not be removed from the workspace. Workspace membership is not synced with audience membership. Instead, users are added on a one-off basis, based on audience membership. These users can choose to leave the workspace, and their audience membership will be unaffected.
