Here, they will be listed with the ['Reporting' rule type](https://support.google.com/a/answer/9420866) (see image below). Previously, you could manage custom rules at *Admin Console > Reporting > Alerts*. ### Who’s impacted  Admins only ### Why you’d use it  With the addition of custom roles, the Security rules section will provide a more consolidated view of rules and alerts available within your domain. This will make it easier to manage your rules and alerts from a single location. ### How to get started  - **Admins**: To access Security rules, click the three-line menu icon in the top left corner of the Admin console and select *Security > Security rules *from the menu that appears. Multiple rule types are viewable including Activity rules, Reporting rules, and System defined rules. Use our Help Center to [learn more about security rules](https://support.google.com/a/answer/9420866). - **End users**: No action needed.    ### Additional details  In April, Google [moved predefined admin alerts](https://gsuiteupdates.googleblog.com/2019/04/alert-center-update-new-emails.html) from the Reporting section of the Admin console to the Security rules section, listed with the 'System defined' rule type label. This brings custom admin alerts to that same location.
