# Adding rule set groups

Add a new rule set group in PingAccess.

## Steps

1. Click **Access**, then go to **Rules > Rule Set Groups**.

2. Click **[icon: plus, set=fa]Add Rule Set Group**.

3. In the **Name** field, enter a name for the rule set group.

   Special characters and spaces are allowed.

4. In the **Success Criteria** section, select one of the following options:

   * All

     Requires all rule sets in the group to succeed.

     |   |                                                                                                                         |
     | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | When **Success Criteria** is set to **All**, the first rule set in the group that fails establishes the error handling. |

   * Any

     Requires only one of the rule sets in the group to succeed.

     |   |                                                                                                             |
     | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | When **Success Criteria** is set to **Any**, the last rule set in the group establishes the error handling. |

5. To add one or more rule sets to the group you're creating:
