# How to Manage Security Group Rules?
### a. How to View Security Group Rules?
To view security group rules, follow the steps given below:
**Step 1:** [Login](https://customer.acecloud.ai/app/login) to your account.
**Step 2:** Navigate to **Kubernetes** and then click on **K8s Security Groups**.
**Step 3:** Click on the kebab menu next to the security group for which you want to view security group rules, and click **Manage Rules**.
**Step 4:** Here, you can view all your security group rules.
### b. How to Create a Security Group Rule?
**Step 1**: On the Manage Rules page, click **Create Security Group Rule**.
**Step 2**: In the **Add Security Group Rule** dialog box, configure the required rule settings.
| Parameter | Description |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Direction** | Specifies the traffic flow for the rule. Select **Ingress** to allow incoming traffic or **Egress** to allow outgoing traffic. |
| **Protocol** | Select the network protocol for the rule. |
| **Ether Type** | Specifies the IP version for the rule. Select **IPv4** or **IPv6**. |
| **CIDR** | Enter the IP address range in CIDR notation to which the rule applies (for example, `192.168.1.0/24` or `0.0.0.0/0`). |
| **Minimum Port Range** | Specifies the starting port number for the rule. Leave blank if the selected protocol does not require ports. |
| **Maximum Port Range** | Specifies the ending port number for the rule. For a single port, enter the same value in both the minimum and maximum port fields. |
| **Description** | Enter an optional description to help identify the purpose of the security group rule. |
**Step 3**: Click **Add Rule** to create the security group rule.
***Note:** Ensure that the CIDR range, protocol, and port range are configured correctly to allow only the required network traffic while maintaining the security of your Kubernetes environment.*
### c. How to Delete a Security Group Rule?
**Step 1**: Locate the required security group, click the Kebab (⋮) menu under the Actions column, and select Manage Rules.
**Step 2**: On the Manage Rules page, select either the Inbound Rules or Outbound Rules tab, depending on the rule you want to delete.

**Step 4**: In the confirmation dialog, click **Delete** to remove the security group rule permanently.
***Note:** Deleting a security group rule is permanent and cannot be undone. Ensure that the rule is no longer required before confirming the deletion.*
