Some members of a SharePoint group target audience cannot access a Web Part in SharePoint Server 2007
SYMPTOMS
You add Active Directory user accounts and Active Directory group accounts to a group in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007. When you designate the SharePoint group as the target audience for a specific Web Part, some user accounts in the SharePoint group cannot access the Web Part.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because only individual user accounts that are assigned to the SharePoint group are recognized as the target audience. Only those individual user accounts can access the Web Part. However, when you add an Active Directory group account, the users in the group account are not recognized as part of the target audience. Therefore, user accounts that reside in a group account that has been added to the SharePoint group cannot access the Web Part.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, apply the hotfix package that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

Description of the SharePoint Server 2007 post-Service Pack 1 hotfix package: January 31, 2008
