# Viewing a quality gate

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

To view the definition of a quality gate:

1. In the top menu bar, select **Quality Gates**.
2. 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-server/user-guide/code-metrics/metrics-definition.md) page. Note that conditions may apply only to new code; check the [Quality standards and new code](/sonarqube-server/user-guide/about-new-code.md) page for these details.
3. To view the projects explicitly associated with this quality gate, navitage 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 figure below shows the **Quality Gates** page:

1. The list of quality gates in your instance. Icons are used to indicate if a quality gate is using recommend settings for new code and/or AI Code Assurance.
2. The definition of the selected quality gate.
3. The projects associated with the selected project.
