LC - Create an Audience

DESCRIPTION:  An audience is a powerful tool to filter users based on criteria.  With appropriate permissions, you can define these criteria using Rules or Rule Sets.  Rule Sets consist of one of more Rules that define the members of an audience.  This rule-based architecture enables administrators to define sets of users based on criterial such as their domains, jobs, organizations, status, managers, duration in a job or organization, and preferred language.
