# Managing quality gates

- [Introduction](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/quality-standards-administration/managing-quality-gates/introduction.md): Your introduction to understanding how to use quality gates in SonarQube Server.
- [Understanding quality gates](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/quality-standards-administration/managing-quality-gates/introduction-to-quality-gates.md): SonarQube Server quality gates use sets of conditions to measure checks against your code during analysis. Depending on result, code passes or fails the quality gate.
- [Viewing a quality gate](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/quality-standards-administration/managing-quality-gates/viewing-quality-gate.md): Any user can view the quality gates and their conditions defined in a SonarQube Server instance.
- [Managing custom quality gates](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/quality-standards-administration/managing-quality-gates/managing-custom-quality-gates.md): You can create your own, custom quality gates in SonarQube Server. To manage custom quality gates, you must have the Administer Quality Gates permission.
- [Changing instance's default quality gate](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/quality-standards-administration/managing-quality-gates/changing-default-quality-gate.md): A default quality gate is assigned in your SonarQube Server settings. This quality gate is automatically applied to new projects and can be modified at any time.
- [Associating a quality gate with projects](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/quality-standards-administration/managing-quality-gates/associating-projects-with-quality-gate.md): The default quality gate is associated with all projects in the organization that are not explicitly associated with a quality gate.
- [Tracking in-line suppression comments](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/quality-standards-administration/managing-quality-gates/tracking-inline-comments.md): How to track the use of in-line suppression comments in the code.
