The audience consists of a group of people within an organization. The audience members are selected when a user creates a policy. Audience members become aware of the published policies applicable to them when they log on to the Control Compliance Suite Web Portal home page. The security manager or security analyst is made aware of the user acceptance status of the policy. The manager or analyst responds to any exception request or clarification request that is submitted for the policy.

The users and the groups that are assigned to the Guest User role with permission to a policy make up the policy audience. The audience can consist of one or more users and groups.

You use the Roles feature and Permission Management feature to assign users to the audience of a policy.
