Retrieving issues

Retrieving issues in SonarQube Cloud is the first step to finding code security and maintainability problems in your code base.

You can retrieve and view the issues detected during a project’s analysis. Ensure you have proper Permissions on a project to view and administer the issues.

Issues can also be reported in your DevOps platform. For more information, see In your DevOps platform.
