When you add a modern page to a site, you add and customize web parts, which are the building blocks of your page. This article describes the Quick links web part.
Note: Some functionality is introduced gradually to organizations that have opted in to the Targeted Release program. This means that you may not yet see this feature or it may look different than what is described in the help articles.
With Quick links, you can "pin" items to your page for easy access.

Audience targeting
By using audience targeting, you can promote links to specific groups of people. This is useful when you want to present information that is especially relevant to a particular group of people. For example, you can target links for specific project information to team members and stakeholders of the project. To use audience targeting, you must first enable audience targeting in the web part property pane, and then edit each quick link to specify the audience to target.
Note: If you've selected an audience group that you recently created or changed, it may take some time to see targeting applied for that group.
Enable audience targeting

If your page is not already in edit mode, select Edit at the top right of the page, and select the Quick links web part.

Select the Edit web part
-
In the Filter section, slide the toggle for Enable audience targeting to On.

Under Audiences, type or search for the group(s) you want to target.
On the page, while you're in edit mode, you can see which links have audiences selected by looking for the audience icon 
Once your page is published, audience targeting will take effect.
