My workspace has dozens of users in the default audience. They are not listed alphabetically, so finding someone I need to remove as they have left is cumbersome. Please add a search function so I can quickly find them and a way of sorting them alphabetically. At the moment, I am having to use the browser search function which works but is a bit clunky.

RE: Audiences - add a search filter to help with long user lists

Sometimes when updating an app, there is a server error that reads a particular user is no longer active. Since there is no way to bypass the error, you then have to scroll through the audience names and try and cherry pick that person. It would be nice if there was a search bar or some other form of validation (or extra column [flag]) bringing those particular users to the fore front.

In large organisations, staff leave or move teams/departments within the organisation. We want to be able to restrict access to view PBI Reports as easily as we can add them.Currently you have to manually look for staff by email, this is difficult within long lists. The listed name can often differ from the login name, or alternative email address so it's not always an obvious or exact match.The addition of a simple search list function on the audience list would save a lot of time.

Also related to user permissions... The Grant Access feature used to send an email acknowledgement to the requesting user. Adding them by email into the audience list should have the option to do the same. Can you add this, please? At the moment, Audiences feels like a backward step.
