What is an Audience?

An Audience represents a view of your site to a group of your site's members. Basically, it's what you want a particular group of your friends or colleagues to be able to do on your site. An Audience is given a number of permissions on your site. After you've set up permissions for an audience, you can then create logins so that people can gain access to the site resources you've designated.

How are Audiences related to Member Accounts?

Members have accounts within Audiences. Audiences define a role (permissions), and Member Accounts are each individual's login to your site. Member Accounts may belong to one audience each.

Can I generate a mailing list of all members in each audience?

Yes. This is available from [Website Management > Members & Access > Member Permissions]. Click to edit your audience, and locate the button at the bottom of the page to generate a mailing list of your members -- see this screenshot for more information.
