## About using rulesets for {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} merge protection
{% note %}
**Notes:**
* This feature is currently in beta and subject to change.
* Merge protection with rulesets is not related to status checks. For more information about status checks, see "[AUTOTITLE](/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/collaborating-on-repositories-with-code-quality-features/about-status-checks)."
* Merge protection with rulesets will not apply to merge queue groups or {% data variables.product.prodname_dependabot %} pull requests analyzed by default setup.
{% endnote %}
You can use rulesets to prevent pull requests from being merged when one of the following conditions is met:
{% data reusables.code-scanning.merge-protection-rulesets-conditions %}
For more information about {% data variables.product.prodname_code_scanning %} alerts, see "[AUTOTITLE](/code-security/code-scanning/managing-code-scanning-alerts/about-code-scanning-alerts)."
You can set merge protection with rulesets at the repository {% ifversion ghec or ghes %}or organization levels{% else %}level{% endif %}, and for repositories configured with either default setup or advanced setup. You can also use the REST API to set merge protection with rulesets.
For more information about rulesets, see "[AUTOTITLE](/repositories/configuring-branches-and-merges-in-your-repository/managing-rulesets/about-rulesets)."

## Creating a merge protection ruleset with the REST API
You can use the REST API to create a ruleset with the `code_scanning` rule, which allows you to define specific tools and set alert thresholds. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/rest/repos/rules?apiVersion=2022-11-28#create-a-repository-ruleset)."
