Cloud Workload Rules page ↗

The Cloud Workload Rules page allows users to manage rules. Users can create, edit, filter, and manage rules.

Note

Keep the following caveats in mind when working with Rules:

Instance Administrators can view all facets of Rules without restrictions, even when Scope-Based Access Control (SBAC) roles are in effect.
If you’ve been assigned a custom role with View/Edit permissions limited by SBAC, you may not be able to view specific Rules.
You can further narrow your search in a Rules table by using SBAC to limit the scope of the findings, issues, and case counts.

The Widget section enables users to get 'at-a-glance' information based on Platform, Rule type, and Scanner type.

The Cloud Workload Rules page displays both the default rules and user-configured rules, with the following fields.
