# Viewing a quality gate

Any user, even an ananymous user, can view the quality gates defined in a SonarQube Cloud instance. For information about quality gates, see [Understanding quality gates](/sonarqube-cloud/standards/managing-quality-gates/introduction-to-quality-gates.md).

To view the definition of a quality gate:

1. Retrieve your organization. See [Retrieving your organizations](/sonarqube-cloud/getting-started/viewing-organizations.md) for details.
2. Go to **Quality Gates**.
3. In the left panel, select the quality gate you want to view. Its definition is displayed in the right panel. For information about the metrics used in the conditions, see the [Understanding measures and metrics](/sonarqube-cloud/managing-your-projects/metric-definitions.md) page.
4. To view the projects explicitly associated with this quality gate, navigate down to **Projects** in the right panel (Note that projects cannot be explicitly associated with the default quality gate). The **With** tab lists the associated projects. The **Without** tab lists the projects not associated with this quality gate. The **All** tab shows all projects.

The **Quality Gates** page shows:

1. The list of quality gates in your organization. A shield icon indicates that a quality gate is qualified AI Code Assurance.
2. The definition of the selected quality gate.
3. The projects associated with the selected project.
