Edit Audience Members Disappear after Update?

Question

I've published an app with two audiences. One Audience contains the entire company, the second audience contains 7 specific members. After publishing, when I go back into republish (lets say I had to make an update), it appears that those 7 users are no longer listed in the box.

Does that mean I mean to edit this audience every time I want to publish? Or are those users somehow already applied?

Here's a screenshot of what the section looks like after I've already published, and then went back in to republish:

Hi&nbsp;sergej_og&nbsp;, the additional 7 users would be considered more of an "admin" group, that have access to a few extra reports. Which is why I thought I could use the Audience's feature, and essentially expose those additional reports to only this audience.The 7 users are saying they can see the additional reports, but the problem is that there are users who are not a part of this group who can also see the new reports in a test I ran. I think that is because both Audience's have "Workspace users" in the audience list. I was hoping to be able to parse that out.Have you ran into a similar situation where you needed to separate access within the same App?&nbsp;

Anonymous&nbsp;Exactly.You have to mange the access to your app, not to workspace.Remove workspace access and give only App access for end-users.I agree with&nbsp;aj1973&nbsp;

aj1973 - It turns out that all users in my workspace are automatically granted access to the App. So as it turns out, we will need to remove all users from the workspace, and then add them individually via the App Audiences feature. This will give us more flexibility in the long-run.

Hi&nbsp;Anonymous&nbsp;This should answer your questionsno you don't need to edit the audiences every time you re publish the App. Like in the image go to Manage permissions to see the groups you gave access to.

aj1973&nbsp;, Unfortunately this doesn't really address/resolve the problem. When you click on "Manage Permissions", you get taken to this page below, which is different than specifying the audience. I'm not interested in giving access to "groups", but instead, individual people within the Audiences section.Furthermore, when you click on "Manage Audiences" from this page, I get re-routed to the "Update App" page, where my users are no longer included in the Audience list.
