Create SharePoint Groups to Add FBA Users to Audience Targeting Rules

Users who authenticate using FBA cannot be added to audience targeting rules in SharePoint. As a workaround, you can create a SharePoint group that contains those FBA users and then add the group to any audience targeting rules.
