Audiences vs Permissions
That was always unnecessary. You add the share permissions to users in the app which is now on the "Manage Audience Access" section.
So if everyone should be the same, just add the groups (or emails - bad idea as it is an administrative nightmare to keep up with, but you can do it) to the access settings, then check other optional settings (sharing, build, etc)
Note that anyone with permissions to the workspace will override this. So if Joe is a contributor and can share a report and dataset for his reports, it will override for Joe the fact that it is unchecked in the dialog box above.
If you have some users you want to be able to share and others you don't, that is where this new feature shines. You simply create a new sharing audience with share permissions in the app, and deny share permissions to the rest in the other audience.

I have a follow up question. If my app and all of the reports in it is generall shared with a specific set of people (groups) and I wanted to share one of these reports with an "entire organization" through audiences - would that be it? Do they need to recieve access somewhere else as well?
That would do it. An Audience that everyone is in. They just need the proper licensing (Free for Premium, or PPU or Pro for PPU/Pro workspaces respectively.)
