Role: Technology Specialist - Product Architect

What we you trying to solve:

We manage a multi-OpCo organization using a single Optimizely instance with isolated production environments per market/region. I've submitted a separate feature request for environment visibility control to address UI clutter and prevent users from seeing irrelevant environments.

Following that solution, audiences/segments also need OpCo-scoping. Currently, audiences remain globally shared across all users, creating problems in multi-OpCo setups:

1. Cross-OpCo interference - OpCo A can accidentally modify or delete audiences used by OpCo B
2. UI pollution - users see irrelevant audiences from all markets when configuring targeting
3. Risk of mis-targeting - OpCo representatives might accidentally select the wrong audience (e.g., "premiumusersgermany" instead of "premiumusersnetherlands")
4. No access control - cannot restrict who can modify specific audiences
5. Namespace confusion - as OpCo count grows, finding the correct audience becomes increasingly difficult

For example, when a Netherlands OpCo representative configures feature targeting, they must navigate through audiences for Germany, Myanmar, and other markets, increasing cognitive load and error risk.

Outcome we're trying to achieve:

Enable audience/segment visibility scoping so users only see and can interact with audiences relevant to their role. Ideally through environment-scoped audiences where:

• Audiences created in production_netherlands are only visible when working in that environment
• Netherlands OpCo representatives cannot view, modify, or accidentally select audiences from other OpCos
• Audience isolation follows the same pattern as environment visibility control
• No additional permission management overhead required

This would:
- Prevent cross-OpCo audience interference
- Reduce cognitive load when configuring feature targeting
- Eliminate risk of mis-targeting features to wrong markets
- Provide natural isolation aligned with environment access patterns
- Complete the multi-OpCo isolation story started with environment visibility control
