Is it any way we can set the Target Audience setting program

Question

Hi All Is it any way we can set the Target Audience setting programmatically using CSOM ? I know we can do through server object like in the below url: http://weblogs.mysharepoint.de/blogs/owirkus/archive/2013/02/20/sharepoint-set-target-audience-to-navigation-nodes-by-code.aspx I am not able to get the properties for setting the target audience in CSOM. Please let me know. Regards Saravanakumar D

Hi Saravanakumar  Once when we had the same requirement in SP2010 CSOM and REST endpoints were limited .As per my belief  Even in 2013 things have not changed for target audience setting . One option for you would be to create a sandbox solution . Create a Empty Sharepoint Project and add a feature reciever . In the feature activating method you can write you server side c# code to implement target audience . Now you can easily upload a sandbox solution (from a remote machine as well with site collection admin privileges)as below: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/gg615450(v=office.14).aspx . Thanks Priyan If you found this useful Please mark this as answer

Yes. I am working in sp 2013. I dont have access to execute from the sharepoint server directly. That'y I looking for solution through CSOM or REST web service or any other client approach. If you know any approach to achive this through client side please help.
