The Cloud Workload Rules page allows users to manage rules. Users can create, edit, filter, and manage rules.
Note
Keep the following caveats in my mind when working with Rules:
Instance Administrators are able to view all facets of Rules without restrictions, even if Scope Based Access Control (SBAC) roles are in effect. Learn more about SBAC.
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 finding, issues, and case counts.
The Widget section enables the users to get 'at-a-glance' 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.
