In order to apply your catalog price rule, one of the options you need to determine who can use it.  These options are limited to the shops, currency, country and customer groups.  If you want to supply a discount to a specific person or group of people, consider creating a cart rule (voucher/coupon) instead of the catalog price rule. Remember to carefully consider the group, shop and currency/country that a user can access when shopping in your PrestaShop store.
