Rules
The rules page is the only public page. This means this page can be accessed without a dbLinter account.
This page shows the same content as the Static Rule Site.
However, the Static Rule Site shows only the public rules of the Core tenant. Tenant-specific rules are
only visible here and only if you are signed in.
